Academy site access proposals are divisive.
At a meeting of residents, called by County Council officers, there were calls for local residents to write to the brewery to ask them to reverse their decision about the “temporary” access road to the school.
I was not at the meeting, so I can only say what I have heard. In fact District councillors were not invited, this being a county matter.
But the whole problem could have been avoided by siting the Academy elsewhere. When this was South Beach First School I fought to keep it on it’s present site. But now this is to be an Academy for the whole of Blyth there is no need to keep it what is an inappropriate, difficult to get to, site.
I will be meeting with councillors Rickerby and Reid to discuss possible solutions.
