CLOCK TICKS FOR SCHOOL

22 June 2005

Time is running out for parents and residents in and around West Cross. If something is not done soon, the City and County of Swansea will have their new 21st Century Welsh school, but no-one will be able to get there unless they arrive via Fairwood Airport and parachute in.

If the proposal to locate this school in West Cross Lane is passed, there will be serious implications. Three schools in this small area is unheard of and above all dangerous. We cannot let them put our children's lives in danger and I urge the parents of Grange Primary School, St David's School and YGG Llwynderw to express their concerns and write to Richard Parry, director of education at the City and County of Swansea, before July 13

I would like to ask Mr Parry how this proposal was allowed to get this far, when proposals to locate YGG Llwynderw at Mayals School did not get to committee, never mind consultation stage.

I also would request that Mr Parry confirm that this scheme is still at the consultation stage and not what is commonly perceived as a fait accompli

A reply would be appreciated via the Evening Post.
