More than 100 pupils from primary schools in the Aber Valley took part in a mass guided walk along a newly created safe route in the community.

The Mayor of Caerphilly County Borough, Cllr Vera Jenkins, joined the children as they walked to St Cenydd School in Caerphilly.

This event was organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council and aimed to encourage more primary school children to choose to walk and cycle to secondary school next year.

It was part of a week of wider activities called ‘Lush Hour’ co-ordinated by sustainable transport charity Sustrans Cymru.

The organised walk started at Nant-y-Parc School in Senghenydd and followed the new Safe Routes in Communities to St Cenydd School, with other feeder primary schools joining on along the way.

The new pedestrian and cycling route from Senghenydd to St Cenydd School was developed as part of the Safe Routes in Communities project funded by The Welsh Government and the Regional Transport Plan Grant.
