PUPILS from Greenhill School in Tenby have allegedly told parents that their use of toilets has been restricted, a claim which has now been disputed by the school.

Furious parents took to the social media to complain that their children were only allowed to go the toilet at lunch break, or if they had permission with a key.

However, the school has said that this is a misunderstanding which is related to several toilets being closed for refurbishment, and children are not restricted in their toilet use.

Matthew Davies, the Deputy Head of Greenhill School, posted on the school’s Facebook page on Friday (Mar 17) in response to the claims saying: “A difficult decision to close some toilet facilities was made on Wednesday of this week. Pupils deserve a clean environment with safe lockable doors and necessary resources such as toilet paper, sanitary bins and liquid soap. These are non negotiable prerequisites.

“With age old facilities, something needs to be done. In the very short term we have provided the best toilet facilities with everything required. Additional facilities will open shortly, once they are up to the required standard for pupils. The local authority have been very supportive with plans for the Summer Term.

“Information to pupils has possibly not translated home. If you require any further information please email the school directly.”

Mr Davies then updated the parents on Monday (Mar 20) saying: “I can confirm additional facilities are almost ready.

“Many thanks for your understanding and support. Our landlord, PCC, has been very supportive with plans for the Summer Term. We look forward to this permanent solution in the near future.”

A HAKIN motorist has been banned from driving for three years after being caught behind the wheel with cocaine and benzoylecgonine in his system.

Mark Briskham, 53, of Waterloo Square, Wellington Road, Hakin, was stopped by police on January 5 as he drove a Ford Kuga along Steynton Road, near Milford Haven.

Blood tests carried out at the police station showed he had 800mcg of benzoylecgonine in his system. The legal limit is 50mcg.

He also had 64mcg of cocaine in his system. The legal limit is 10mcg.

Briskham pleaded guilty to two drug-driving charges when he appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

Magistrates disqualified him from driving for three years, taking into account a previous drug-drive conviction from 2020.

He was also fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £48 surcharge.cr

A WATERSTON man has appeared before magistrates charged with 13 sexual offences against children, including three allegations of raping a girl under the age of 13.

Chaisee Price, 25, of Biggins Hill, Waterston, Milford Haven, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

He faces three charges of raping a girl under 13, eight charges of sexually assaulting girls aged between five and eight, and two charges of intentionally inciting girls under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2014 and 2019.

Price denied all charges.

Because of the seriousness of the allegations, magistrates declined jurisdiction and the case will now proceed to Swansea Crown Court on July 10.

Price was released on conditional bail.

The conditions include a daily electronically monitored curfew between 6:00pm and 6:00am, no contact with the prosecution witness, no unsupervised contact with children under 18, and a requirement to surrender his passport to police.
