Redhill Pupils Tour County Hall

Year 6 Pupils from Redhill Prep School in Haverfordwest, who are currently studying Politics as part of their curriculum, had a behind-the-scenes tour of Pembrokeshire County Council’s offices at County Hall this week. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

As well as visiting various departments, the Year 6 children met staff from the contact centre, and had refreshments with the Chairman, Cllr Wynne Evans. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Their tour was followed by a visit to the Council chamber where they took part in a lively question and answer session with Cllr Evans, Cllr Ken Rowlands, and Cllr David Simpson. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Among their many questions were ‘When is the Council going to re-tarmac the potholes in Uzmaston Road’, ‘Are you going to build any more parks?’ and ‘Is it hard work being a chairman?’ ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The pupils represented various groups within the school, including the School Council, and health and safety committee, ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

They were accompanied by Louise Barrington, Year 6 teacher, and John Couceiro, LSA. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

William Letten, head boy from Redhill School said: “We enjoyed our visit to County Hall. We learned about the different ways the council help Pembrokeshire and we look forward to visiting again soon”. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
