The Council is expecting a shortfall of £50 million in finances. Why is Bridgend CBC spending millions on a school which is remote from the community. These are primary school children, the school should be close and accessible from the children's homes.
Why is this important?
I am a school governor of a school which is being closed, against the wishes of the community, children of three years of age are expected to get up early, travel in a bus and very possibly go without breakfast. These children will lose all the comradeship attained through living in a close community. The only community shop will close because parents will not be taking the children to school, and will no longer be customers. This is a disaster for a close community.
