The River Severn The town of Tewkesbury
At 6.00pm, the bus was caught in very slow moving traffic here – trying to get home Pupil Map
A Safe Place to Lay The Mayor has requested that the team work together to prepare a map that provides possible locations for the school minibus to rest for the night. Remember – they have to be able to get through. Red zone: Could be hard to get too but a safe place offering warmth, food and shelter for the teachers and pupils. Amber zone: Should be easier to get too but maybe not the most suitable for teachers and pupils. Green zone: This area is considered to be easy to get too but have very few facilities for teachers and pupils.
