I was at another School Council on Friday, this time at Fern Hill in North Kingston. First I sat in on a very well structured School Council meeting.

After that, some more Year 5 and 6 pupils joined us to ask me about my role. Then they got down to business and talked about how the area where they live could be improved. I jotted down a lot of very good ideas and will now relay them on to the council officers and others.

The children would like more play equipment for the 8 to 12 year age range - they felt that the playgrounds in the parks catered for younger children. They also had some thoughts about cycle lanes, as well as graffiti.
