Around 60 pupils from Tavernspite CP School have taken part in a Walk to School event during National Walk to School Week. The walk was organised by the school's junior road safety officers supported by officers from Pembrokeshire County Council's road safety unit. The annual event was held by the school to encourage the children to be less dependent on the car and reduce the traffic congestion outside the school gates. The Walk to School is just one of the many actions pupils from Tavernspite are undertaking as part of their school travel plan, to help promote the use of more sustainable transport and improve the road safety environment surrounding the school. Tavernspite Garden Centre kindly allowed the children to meet in their car park before walking to school together. County Clr. Jamie Adams, cabinet member for highways and planning, who was unable to attend, said afterwards: "I am encouraged by the effort of the whole school community, especially their enthusiasm in tackling the growing problem of congestion that is faced by many of the schools in Pembrokeshire today."
