Help for Ysgol Dewi Sant
Carmarthenshire planners have agreed to works to make it easier for pupils to walk or cycle to a Llanelli school.
The county council applied for planning permission for works at Ysgol Dewi Sant in Bryndulais Avenue including the replacement of the existing cycle storage facility with a new shelter and racks and also three separate parent waiting shelters.
An officers’ report to yesterday’s meeting of the planning committee said: “The proposal to erect cycle storage and pedestrian waiting shelters at the school is part of a ‘Safe Routes in the Community’ initiative promoted by the Welsh Assembly Government.”
The aim was to make it more appealing to cycle or walk to school which would have benefits in improving fitness and reducing greenhouse gases. It would also mean fewer cars parked near the school grounds,” the report added.
