Saundersfoot: School exercise goes to plan

Published

10 years ago

on

saundersfoot 2Saundersfoot CP School recently held a successful live exercise involving the evacuation of the whole school, to test the effectiveness of its Business Continuity arrangements.

Business continuity planning – a statutory requirement – enables schools to maintain their key functions in the event of an incident.

Having been given a scenario by Paul Eades, the Council’s Risk and Business Continuity Manager, the headteacher, Nick Allen and his staff quickly and calmly ensured the safe and speedy evacuation of all pupils to the Regency Hall in Saundersfoot.

The exercise was overseen by officers from Dyfed-Powys Police.

Mr Eades said afterwards: “The staff at Saundersfoot School did a terrific job, demonstrating in practical terms that they have robust business continuity arrangements in place.

“I would like to commend them for their excellent performance and all the hard work that has been put into the planning process.”

Headteacher, Mr Allen, added: “The evacuation of all pupils, staff and visitors to the Regency Hall went extremely well. This is a testament to all staff and pupils for their attitude and approach to the event.

“I am most grateful to the Regency Hall for allowing this event to be held there. They opened up all the facilities for the school to use and this helped ensure the procedure was a success.

“I would also like to thank the parents for their help in the collection of the children.

“The event helped test the school’s plans and I am glad to say is was a success. Let’s hope we never have to use it, but my attitude is similar to the boy scouts – ‘be prepared!’

    Having once been “caught” outside the school one afternoon I can be fairly asured no one’s going to get far away from the school to quickly – triple patking, just stopped in the main road, parking in drives, one woman at the back of the queue just did a 7 point turn and went the wrong way down the road just so that their “dear johnny” can manage the three steps to their car.
    Two PCSOs there did nothing to alleviate the problem – givr a few tickets out before there’s an accident

    Tomas – this article is about how the whole school was able to carry out a mock evacuation. This saw approximately 400, most of which were children aged from 3 to 11 years old, having to walk from the school into the village to the regency hall timely and safely. The school parking you refer to is a separate matter altogether; a headache experienced by many village schools all over. I’m sorry you had experienced difficulty on the day you mention, and trust you would have brought this to the school’s attention, so they could act on your comments constructively, if the issue was as bad as you say it was.

    It is quite sad in this day and age these measures need to be in place, but as a parent of Saundersfoot School pupils, I feel very reassured this exercise was a success. Well done to everyone involved, not just on this day, but keeping our children save everyday.

Pembrokeshire ‘left behind’ as top-quality 5G reaches just one in 100 premises

Published

Henry Tufnell has called for urgent government action, saying unreliable mobile coverage is damaging businesses, tourism and access to essential services

ONLY one per cent of premises in Mid and South Pembrokeshire can access the highest-quality form of 5G from at least one mobile network, according to figures highlighted by the constituency’s MP.

Henry Tufnell has written to the Minister for the Digital Economy calling for an urgent meeting over what he described as a serious lack of investment in mobile infrastructure across West Wales.

In his letter, the Labour MP said the constituency remained far behind the rest of the country in both the availability and reliability of mobile services.

Henry Tufnell MP

According to Ofcom figures cited by Mr Tufnell, 12 per cent of premises in Mid and South Pembrokeshire cannot receive a usable high-quality 5G signal from any network. That is six times the national average of two per cent.

He also said that only one per cent of premises locally could access “5G Standalone”, the highest-quality version of the technology, from at least one operator. Nationally, the equivalent figure is said to be 86 per cent.

Mr Tufnell said surveys carried out among his constituents showed the effect poor coverage was having on everyday life.

Some 98 per cent of respondents said a lack of mobile signal negatively affected them, while more than three-quarters reported having a poor signal or no signal where they lived.

The MP said unreliable connectivity was affecting residents, businesses and visitors, as well as schools, transport services and healthcare workers such as community nurses.

Mobile coverage problems were not limited to isolated rural areas, he said, with unreliable service frequently reported in Haverfordwest and persistent “not-spots” affecting Tenby during the busy tourist season.

Poor coverage can also prevent people from using banking, payment and parking applications, creating particular difficulties for visitors and businesses during peak periods.

Mr Tufnell has separately contacted VodafoneThree UK and EE about infrastructure in the Tenby and Penally areas.

VodafoneThree has advised him that it plans to upgrade the mast at Slippery Back Lane in Tenby, although the work is not currently expected to be delivered until 2028.

He has also raised concerns about a proposed 20-metre 4G telecommunications mast at Strawberry Lane, Penally.

Planning permission has been granted for the replacement mast, but the previous structure has already been removed and work on the new installation has yet to begin.

Mr Tufnell said he had written to EE in April seeking clarification about when the mast would be installed, but had not received a response by the time of his latest correspondence.

He has now asked the Government to discuss what support can be provided to accelerate the delivery of reliable mobile infrastructure across the constituency.

Mr Tufnell said: “West Wales cannot continue to be left behind. We need high-quality, reliable digital infrastructure across the whole of Pembrokeshire.

“This is not simply an inconvenience. Poor mobile coverage is affecting residents, local businesses, public services and the tourism industry.”

THE FAMILY of a 30-year-old father who died following a motorcycle crash near Aberystwyth have described him as a much-loved partner, relative and friend who will be “sadly missed by so many people”.

Matthew Sims, known to his family and friends as Matt, was seriously injured in a single-vehicle collision on the A487 at Blaenplwyf on the morning of Saturday, July 11.

The crash, involving a blue Suzuki motorcycle, happened at around 7am as Mr Sims was travelling to work.

He was taken by air ambulance to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, where he died on Thursday, July 16.

No other vehicles were involved in the collision.

Mr Sims, who was from Lampeter, leaves behind his partner Katie and his daughters, Emma and Beca.

In a tribute released through Dyfed-Powys Police, his family said: “Matt passed away on Thursday 16th July 2026 at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, following a motorcycle accident on the Aberystwyth road on his way to work on the morning of Saturday 11th July 2026. No other vehicles were involved.

“He was a loving father to his daughters Emma and Beca and partner to Katie.

“He had a wide circle of family and friends and will be sadly missed by so many people.

“Rest in peace Matt.”

Dyfed-Powys Police said officers are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.

Anyone who was travelling on the A487 near Blaenplwyf at around 7am on July 11, particularly anyone with dashcam footage, is urged to contact the force.

Information can be provided online through the Dyfed-Powys Police website, by emailing [email protected], sending the force a direct message on social media, or calling 101.

The reference to quote is 82 of July 11.
