Concern Over Park Lane School Plans
19 March 2008
Tilehurst Lib Dems used last Monday’s (17 March) Council Cabinet meeting to raise concerns over the £14.5m scheme to rebuild Park Lane School and provide a new nursery (to replace the current Blagrave nursery buildings), Health Centre and Public Library.

The fear now is that without the synthetic pitch it will be difficult to fit all the facilities into the new site and the current plans show that the hard play area for the expected 420 children has shrunk to the size of two netball pitches. Cllr Pete Beard noted that synthetic pitch would also have been available as a community facility for games outside school hours.
