"We have been reading, with interest, your opposition to the plans to redevelop the existing School site with the loss of school land and at the same time increasing numbers at the school itself.
Clearly, the loss of more school land is to be opposed and most people would heartily agree with that, however, the merits of the educational issues we would wish to leave to others more expert and more personally involved.
As local residents of Meadlands Drive we have a major issue with traffic congestion and parking as a result of a similar recent redevelopment at the German School which has vastly increased the amount of traffic flow in this and surrounding roads resulting in us becoming the German School Car Park Extension.
We have been in correspondence with the Council since the end of last year on the subject.
We feel that the proposed development will only exacerbate this problem with increased pupil numbers and the development of residential accommodation and would oppose these plans on this basis alone. Any further increase in vehicular traffic would not only affect local residents but would affect access to the new school and have implications with regard to the safety of children travelling on foot".
