I was delighted to visit Amherst School, where I met the pupils of Year 6.
I was greeted by a wonderful rendition of “Food Glorious Food” ahead of the schools forthcoming school production of Oliver, before the pupils asked some excellent questions on a variety of topics including the newly opened vape shop in Riverhead, what the Government are doing to reduce drug crime and our support for Ukraine in their war with Russia.
Along with Cllr's Bayley and Clack, I then spent some time talking to the Deputy Head Miss Jones about road safety around the school, and I will be working with both local councillors on seeking improvements.
