As a former resident of Knowle, the Redevelopment Plans seem to have been on the table for discussion for a long time and it is now a suitable moment to action them. The existing school is tired and many renovations are required to bring it up to scratch. The local community should look to the future and hopefully accept that there are many more pros than cons in the Arden Local Plan. I remember clearly that when I bought my first home in Knowle in the early 1980’s, all the talk then was of a Knowle by-pass to reduce the traffic on the Warwick Road. Well that never happened and look at the weekday congestion during busy peak periods in recent years, especially when large lorries use the road because of holdups on the M42/M6 to gain access to the M40 at Warwick.
