No more delays...for the sake of our children build Ysgol St Baruc now!
We the undersigned fully support the Vale of Glamorgan Council's threat to take legal action to take control of building the new Ysgol St Baruc on the Barry Waterfront. The delays and excuses cannot be tolerated any further... the future of our children is too important.
The Waterfront Consortium (Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey and Barratt) have made plenty of money from the sale of thousands of houses but has not delivered on a vital quality new school which the residents of the Waterfront so desperately need.
Barry Green Party fully backs the local communities and Councils call for action!
Why is this important?
As part of a Section 106 agreement with the Vale of Glamorgan Council the Waterfront Consortium committed to build a new school to support the expansion of Ysgol St Baruc which will cater for the growing Waterfront development and the local demand for Welsh medium education.
The current Ysgol St Baruc comprises a main Victorian building and a two classroom block built in the 1980's. The school is on a very confined sloping site with no prospect of increasing the site. The school currently uses the dining facilities at the adjacent High Street Primary School and has no prospect of meeting 21st Century Schools standard.
The Waterfront Community deserve a first class modern school and no more excuses! The Green Party will campaign with local parents to ensure this agreement is delivered without any further delays!
