Concerned about lack of commitment to improve infrastructure for proposed housing growth in Balsall Common. In particular, Balsall Common Primary School needs replacing by purpose built 4 form entry school, with no less facilities for the children than now, shared community facilities such as before & after school care/sports/swimming/social/multi purpose hall, realistic access for cars/parking as parents will drop off young children, safe walking/riding routes and positioned away from other schools to reduce congestion/pollution. 4 form size is needed for capacity, future proofing, financial viability, resilience & capacity to handle specialist needs and should be designed in from start.
With proposed housing growth in Balsall Common there is no infrastructure commitment.
In particular Balsall Common Primary School needs replacing by a new purpose built 4 form entry school, with no less facilities for the children than now. But developed with shared community facilities such as before & after school care/sports/swimming/social/multi purpose hall. The site needs realistic access for cars/parking [parents will drop off young children ] and safe walking/riding routes. 4 form size is needed for capacity, future proofing, financial viability, resilience & capacity to handle specialist needs. Positioned away from other schools to reduce congestion/pollution.Designed in from start.
