New buildings at Welwyn Garden City's Holwell Primary School have been opened by Welwyn Hatfield mayor Pankit Shah.

Cllr Shah cut the ribbons to officially open two new learning and community spaces on Tuesday, October 16, which were funded by local businesses and fundraising, including a school governor running a half marathon.
