A visit to Caerphilly County Borough Council’s road safety marquee at this year’s Big Cheese Festival turned out to be a prize-winning experience for one local resident.
Shannon Bevan, 16, from Abertysswg, entered a special road safety competition during her visit. The former Rhymney Comprehensive pupil, who is starting at Ystrad Mynach College in September, was later named the lucky winner of a new mountain bike.
Almost 400 people entered the free competition to win the mountain bike and had to answer road safety questions and complete a bike-related word search.
Shannon’s entry was the first one pulled from a draw.
Shannon was presented with her prize by Cllr Rob Gough, cabinet member for public protection, engineering and transport and terry shaw, head of engineering services.
Cllr Rob Gough said: “I was delighted to see so many people visit the road safety marquee at this year’s Big Cheese festival, which gave people the opportunity to learn some very important road safety messages.”
