With two public consultation meetings (Christ the King College and West Wight) arranged for the same night (23rd June) it was only a matter of time before one of them had to be moved. This in from the council, in their own words. Ed
A public meeting during a six week consultation on options to reduce the number of primary school places in the Freshwater and Totland area will now be held a day earlier on Wednesday 22 June.
The meeting was originally due to be held the following night on Thursday 23 June.
It will be held at West Wight Middle School between 1900 – 2100 on the 22nd.
Because the number of places in the area is much higher than children to take them, the council is looking to reduce provision. The council’s preferred option is to close Weston Primary School as part of the move to reduce surplus places.
Formal consultation on the preferred option to close Weston Primary School will end at 1700 on Friday 22 July.
