One of Bristol's largest primary schools has become the latest to open new cycle and scooter sheds.

The shelters at Knowle Park Primary in Queenshill Road have been built to encourage more children to cycle or scoot to school rather than being ferried in by car.

They were officially opened yesterday afternoon by Bristol South MP and Children's Minister Dawn Primarolo.

The shelters at the 489-pupil school, which caters for four to 11-year-olds, can accommodate up to 50 bikes and 20 scooters.

Deputy head Andy Dewey said: "This is a big boost to our effort to get as many children on their bikes and scooters as possible."
