In July parents protested outside county hall at Haverfordwest

Parents and friends of the 53-pupil Hermon School in north Pembrokeshire have taken their fight to the streets of nine communities in the county to highlight their cause.

Pembrokeshire Council wants to close Hermon and nearby Blaenffos School and transfer the pupils to a new �1.5m area school at Cymych.

But earlier this month parents at Hermon were granted Legal Aid to challenge the authority's consultation process.

It's going very well and we've had a terrific response Nerys Nicholas

The majority of parents at Hermon say it is a thriving school that should be expanded and not closed.

They are now busy raising funds to publicise their fight.

The march started at Hermon first thing on Saturday morning with more than 80 people joining the protest.

They then boarded two buses and headed for Llanissilio, Clunderwen, and Narberth before moving on to Hayscastle, Milford and Pembroke.

During the afternoon the buses were moving on to Haverfordwest, Fishguard and Eglwyswrw.

As they marched through each community they were carrying collection buckets to try and raise money.

Chair of the school governors Nerys Nicholas told BBC News Online they were delighted with the support they were getting.

"It's going very well and we've had a terrific response," she said.

"We've been very pleased with the support and the financial support we are getting is far more than we expected.

"People we have spoken to are very interested in our campaign."

She said people were cheering as they walked along the streets and motorists were sounding their horns in support.

"It's a great boost to morale," she added.

Pembrokeshire Council's case is that it does not have the funds to expand Hermon school which is only supposed to have a 46 pupil capacity.
