Still no posting of support or objections on the planning website.
Even although I've always been sure that the Park/Golf Course is the best site for a new school, planning permission is required and that will come down to a decision by the Development Sub-Committee, who are not known for courageous decision making when faced with vociferous objectors. PPAG have undoubtedly been the proactive campaign group; Coffee Mornings, Street Collections, Quiz Nights, Fancy Dress, Park Parties, Seances, door to door canvassing, leaflets etc and they frequently play their trump card: it is an easy sell to garner support to prevent building on a "much loved" Park.
Shameful seems the appropriate way to describe PPAG's claims to speak for the "significant majority" however, the reveal may well be that more people object to, rather than support, a school in the park. If that does turn out to be the case i hope the DMSC have the balls to do the right thing.
