BREAKING: Rob
Wilson MP has just published letters with the news that
the Education Funding Agency (EFA) has decided to pursue Mapledurham Playing
Fields (MPF) for the permanent siting of The Heights primary school.
The results of Reading Borough Council's (RBC's)
consultation clearly influenced the EFA's decision, as the public's choice was
strongly in support of MPF over the four other sites.
Rob Wilson MP has
offered to set up a new meeting of stakeholders to ensure ongoing public
engagement and involvement with the EFA's plans.
I echo Rob’s call
for constructive dialogue with residents, all users of MPF, RBC and the EFA.
As the local
councillor for the area and Chairman of Mapledurham Playing Fields Management,
I have been listening to the concerns about possible implications of the EFA’s
decision. I am pleased therefore that the
parameters I had identified before now have been included by Rob in his
response to the EFA.
I will ensure
that all issues voiced to me are fed into the appropriate channels so they can
be given full consideration so that The Heights primary school will be able to
benefit the community for generations to come.
