As
we are aware, local councillors preferred the Country Park as the site for the
new school. Residents in Oakhurst wanted
to keep the Country Park and were quite clear, during the consultation, that no
building of such kind should take place there.
Residents
in Oakhurst also wanted a local site for a local school and asked for the
planned Tadpole Farm school to be brought forward. Residents tell us that they are pleased that
common sense has won the day and that the school will be built on Tadpole
Farm.
ORA
would like to thank everyone who worked with us to save the Country Park from
development. Local people are pleased
that a school will be built that does not involve a long hike over difficult
terrain.
The
new school at Tadpole Farm will benefit the people of Oakhurst and will be less
distance to travel for all of the Oakhurst children when compared to the Mouldon
Hill Country Park site.
