Maidenhead & Windsor

Local Windsor and Maidenhead residents are being given an update on the proposed move of Holyport Manor Special School to the Cox Green School site – and can give their opinions of the proposals.

A special pre-planning public consultation session will be held on Tuesday January 22 from 3.30pm until 7.30pm at Cox Green Library, Highfield Lane, Maidenhead.

Members of the public are welcome to turn up at any time during the session to view the drawings and information, talk to representatives from the council's education and highways departments and the architects, ask questions and offer comments.

Cllr Eileen Quick, lead member for Windsor and Maidenhead children's services, said: "Since the public consultation meetings held at Cox Green and Holyport Manor schools in January 2007, a considerable amount of work has taken place to design the new school in such a way that it meets its many objectives and in as sympathetic a way as possible.

"We now have a design we feel will work, and we would like to invite residents along on January 22 to see the drawings and offer comments before a planning application is submitted. There will of course be a consultation period as part of the formal planning process."

Leaflets were delivered on Monday January 14 to houses backing on to the Cox Green site and surrounding roads advising occupants of the consultation session.

Any queries about the consultation session can be made by emailing holyportmanorconsultation@rbwm.gov.uk or by calling 01628 796674.
