More than 3,000 pupils and teachers from across Caerphilly County Borough wrapped up warm and set off to school on foot recently in celebration of International Walk to School Month.

The annual event offered children, parents, teachers and community leaders an opportunity to be part of a global event.

Cllr Rob Gough, cabinet member for transportation and planning said, “I am so proud of our pupils for embracing the challenge and jumping on board the walking bus, despite the recent cold weather.

“All 3,000 pupils and teachers involved have put Caerphilly County Borough on the map as having people of all ages who really do want to make a difference to the environment.

“Walking to school promotes health, physical activity, and relieves congestion around the school, making it a safer environment for all of the community.”
