The new path from Townfield Lane to Heptonstall school is now open, saving parents and children from having to walk on the main road while the traffic is heavier than normal.

Children are enjoying getting to know the ponies. In case you were wondering, they are:

Skye, light brown with white socks.

Aran, very dark brown with a white muzzle and white socks.

Jura, dark brown with a whitish tummy.

Thanks to Rosie for the information.
