New First School for Foxlydiate

The County Council would like to hear your views about a new First School for Redditch.  

 

In order to meet the increased demand for school places which has arisen due to local housing developments, Worcestershire County Council is proposing to deliver a new First School with nursery, including wrap around provision, in the Webheath area of Redditch. The school will be located on a site off Foxlydiate Lane. 

 

This engagement marks the first of these opportunities to have your say and will allow Worcestershire County Council at the very earliest stage to ensure the proposed new school will meet the needs of current residents, as well as communities for generations to come.

 

If the decision is made to proceed, there will be more opportunities for you to feedback.?Your feedback in responding to this survey will help us to shape the school design specification and what we would expect from an Academy in applying to run this school.?? 

 

The survey runs until Friday 4th August and you can submit your response online at:https://online1.snapsurveys.com/Redditch_New_First_School 

 

If you require a paper copy of the questionnaire, please email:NewFoxlydiateFirstSchool@worcestershire.gov.uk

Have your say on planning in Worcestershire?

The planning consultation database for the county is being refreshed and Worcestershire County Council would like to invite residents and businesses to register so that they can have their say on planning matters. The Council plays a significant planning role across the whole of Worcestershire including policies and strategies about minerals and waste and major infrastructure projects like new railway stations and bridges.
Councillor Marc Bayliss, Worcestershire County Councillor with Responsibility for Economy Infrastructure and Skills, said: “Community engagement plays a vital role in the way we make our plans, and I cordially invite residents and businesses to register to participate and influence this process. Our work includes developing important strategies relating to ecology and biodiversity that make Worcestershire distinct and special, as well as planning for infrastructure such as schools and highway projects. This is a great way for people to hear about what is going on and get involved in the planning work we do.”
