SAM ROWLANDS, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, warns time is running out for people to lodge their objections to the controversial plans for a new superschool in Flint.
Flintshire County Council are planning to close St David’s Catholic Primary School in Mold, St Anthony’s in Saltney, St Mary’s in Flint and St Richard Gwyn High School in Flint and build a £55 million superschool for pupils aged 3-18 on the site of St Richard Gwyn.
Mr Rowlands, who has been instrumental in campaigning on behalf of the objectors and has been running his own petition against the proposals is urging people against the plan to make their feelings known.
He said: “As we approach the deadline of Monday, 15th December for final comments, I am urging everyone to make sure they register their objections.
“I am still receiving emails from members of the public who remain extremely worried as Flintshire Council refused to accept the feedback of the previous consultation in the Summer which showed that over 95% of parents are against the controversial move.
“I continue to meet with up with action groups who have been set up to fight against the plans and fully support their stance.
“It is now more than ever absolutely vital that those concerned continue to voice their concerns to stop these plans going any further.
“I really cannot believe how councillors, who are supposed to represent their communities, have just ignored the public’s views on this matter.
“I just hope commons sense will prevail and the public’s views will be taken seriously.”
Comments to the proposals must arrive before the deadline of 11.59pm on Monday, December 15.
Objections should be sent, either by post to School Modernisation Team, Flintshire County Council, Ty Dewi Sant, St David’s Park, Ewloe CH5 3FF or email to [email protected].
