Why do you think it is suitable as a new school site as it was totally unsuitable for previous school thawas there, more facilities are now required, doesn’t article say it may be suitable as site for 1 form school?

Fred the shred Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 It was not suitable because of its age but I see no reason why a new school should not be built there providing there is a car park perhaps underground included in the plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason we can't build upwards. No doubt some cretin would pop up and claim it's a conservation area or some such bollocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Fred rightly states, the building was unsuitable. Nothing wrong with the land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) No reason we can't build upwards. '''''' Nearby long term residents may disagree? 2x One term schools for the area would seem to be repetitive excess? Given that this catchment area produced the most 'exclusions', maybe time to take the kids out of the area, give them a chance to see a better future??? From my own parenting, there was an obvious difference between the Ballakermeen and the Bemahague kids!!!

joebean Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 They ought to get on with a new school without further delay. We need it to cope with children from the large influx of economically active young people and graduates who will be seeking to stay here to take advantage of the fabulous careers and high standard of living our Government is providing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the available options in Onchan? The man Peter karran was campaigning for is a dreadful human. It could have been worse.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
