strategically connected one-stop-shop solution for all regions and business sectors in Wales and beyond Over the last year Monmouthshire County Council have worked with these schools to create an Active Travel School Plan personalised for the school to help families and staff travel more actively and support them in carrying out the steps These actions are based around the problems found at the school all of these schools demonstrated congestion outside the school particularly the immediate area outside of the school gates the schools have been working with Monmouthshire Council to implement a School Street A School Street is a street near a school where traffic is restricted at the beginning and end of the school day The times that there will be a School Street are from 8:30am to 9:15am and 2:45pm to 3:45pm Affected residents will be free to come and go at these times Please note that during these times restrictions will be in place and only valid users such as residents buses including MCC school transport and essential deliveries will be permitted One of the ways to change the way people travel is to encourage people to walk and cycle more For many shorter journeys they can also be the quickest which is often the case for the school run sensors have already been in place for a few months These sensors will remain active allowing us to monitor the impact of the school street closure The School Street will create a safer environment for your children and the school community by reducing the number of vehicles travelling past the school We are really excited that your school will have a School Street and will be a safer place to get to Please help us keep it safe by travelling as actively as you can.  Privacy Notice © Copyright 2025 Monmouthshire County

five-goal display from Joel Evans. Undy had an early chance when Harris Thomas tested stand-in goalkeeper Damien Daniels with a 20-yard free-kick in the third minute, as regular keeper Steve Price was suspended. The hosts responded almost immediately, with Matty Tong's low shot saved and Joel Evans' header from the resulting corner turned behind by Undy keeper Jack Harris. The Corries broke the deadlock in the 12th minute when Joel Evans headed home from a Jack Bain free-kick. Just five minutes later, Jordan Baker’s cross hit the crossbar, and Evans was quick to pounce, turning the ball past Harris to double the lead. Despite a slight lull, the Corries continued to press and extended the lead further in the 40th minute when Joel Evans played the ball through to brother Craig Evans before he maintained his composure to lift it over the advancing Harris After the break, the Corries kept the pressure on. Craig Evans had a shot saved by Harris in the 53rd minute, followed by Jordan Baker's effort being deflected wide. In the 59th minute, Joel Evans sealed his hat-trick, closing on a back pass to Harris to tap into an empty net. Just two minutes later, he netted his fifth after some confusion in the Undy defence. Undy had few chances, with Daniels making a smart save from Thomas in the 57th minute. Brecon continued to dominate, with Dale Evans firing over the bar and Nyle Slade narrowly missing with a lob over Harris, before Undy’s Oliver Smith had a shot saved in the 77th minute. Corries can now look forward to their final home fixture of 2024 against promotion rivals Canton on Saturday.
