Kelvin Hall school is going to need part of this site under the new scheme but the good news is we have secured political support for your wishes (which we fully backed) not to have classrooms there.
As you know Andrew and I were opposed to a split school site on sound education grounds also and, despite the Governors of Kelvin initially wanting a split site (it's not for us to comment but most of the Governors do not live in Bricknell Ward), they now seem to have come on board.
Following our power meeting today with senior staff involved in developing the new schools fit for the new century we believe we are heading in the right direction. We agreed there was no harm to a few sports pitches, as Andrew and I prove healthy bodies lead to healthy minds, and a modest building to allow changing facilities.
We are now engaged in talks to see if we can mutually "piggyback" (a biological impossibility of course but it gets across this is a meeting of equals!) our desire for the community library and community rooms with their desire for changing rooms. More importantly it's putting together funds we have secured for this with their funds: the sum total being infinitely greater than the sum of the individual parts.
Proof again, if proof were ever needed that unlike others with their so called blogs we work for you all year round.
