Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18642

Received: 27/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Pauline Young

Representation Summary:

Schools are a necessary consideration particularly secondary education I am fully aware of the limited spaces in current establishments and the expansion of these is fundamental in any housing allocation - why put developments in areas which are a) not easily and safely accessible and b) unable to accommodate any further intake. Only the East (100) and South East Ashingdon (500) locations have made reference to secondary education, what about the other 2145 houses and their secondary education needs? How is this going to be addressed given overcapacity of current establishments including lack of teachers and impending education spending cuts?
