Mill Road Depot Draft Planning and Development Brief SPD

Representation ID: 30992

Received: 22/06/2016

Respondent: Abigail Wills

Representation Summary:

There is in no way enough detail here on what is going to happen with regards to school place provision. There is already a catchment 'black hole' by the railway where children are being sent to schools several miles away because of a lack of places at their local catchment school. This issue is going to become critical with this new development, and I see no real council engagement with the specifics of how it is going to be solved. I would like to see concrete suggestions, not vague promises to address the problem at some future point.
