COUNCILLORS were left “climbing the wall” during a visit to Gable Hall School in Corringham.
The Mayor of Thurrock, councillor John Everett, and the council’s Cabinet member for Children’s Services, councillor Sue MacPherson joined colleagues (including councillor Pauline Tolson) and children at the first of three visits to Thurrock by the Essex Association of Boys’ Clubs’ Climbing Wall.
The wall — which is free to try — is due to be at Hassenbrook School, Stanford-le-Hope on Thursday and at St Clere’s School, Stanford next Monday, August 18.
Councillor MacPherson said: “They couldn’t keep me away. Going up was great fun. I’d like to thank the North East Excellence Cluster and the Extended Services Team.”
Councillor Everett sampled the wall and said: “It was great fun. All the children were enjoying themselves, it’s perfectly safe.”
