Well, David, I can do more than just commend Ysgol Hamadryad for the approach that they have taken, because I myself joined the walking bus to Ysgol Hamadryad just last week. It just demonstrates, with a change of mindset, actually how achievable this can be. It's been affected by a number of issues. Obviously, it's a new school and therefore new habits are perhaps more easily instilled in individuals. But, in this case, it has been down to the leadership of both the headteacher and the school's governing body, as well as some of the physical constraints of where the new school is actually built. But it demonstrates—Ysgol Hamadryad demonstrates—what can be achieved when there is a partnership approach between schools and parents, and I enjoyed my walk to school very, very much indeed.
