Tuesday 27th July
I have meant to put a post up about this for a while but we have disbributed 1500 leaflets about this around the surrounding areas to Lindsworth School.
Following the discussion about school funding in the national press, a number of residents have contacted us over the last few weeks to find out what is happening about the proposed new school at Lindsworth with the merger of Baverstock and Kings Norton High.
We are delighted to tell you that the proposal will not go ahead on the Lindsworth Site. This follows pressure of the local residents working with your local Conservative Councillors Mark Hill and Neville Summerfield and Derek Johnson, Campaign Co-ordinator. We are pleased that the reasons put forward, such as the increase in traffic and pressure on local amenities, have been listened to and acted upon.
However, there are still plans merge to Baverstock and Kings Norton High but an alternative site needs to be found. We have previously suggested expanding
one of the current sites but have been told this wasn’t feasible. One of our suggestions was to look at the large green area in front of Baverstock where two tower blocks have been knocked down. We will be asking for this to be looked at again. Any suggestions of a local site ?

Personally, I don't want Baverstock School extended over the 'green area' adjacent to the school, in front of the houses. There is already a large traffic of school children in the area before school, during the lunch time, and after school, generally causing problems for the people in the local area where the children generally jump bus queues(?) and expect to be served before the adults in the shop by squeezing past them. There must be a field somewhere, where you can put all the kids in to teach?
