Concern over closure
Would it not make more sense to keep the Ashbrooke school open and close the older ones in Mowbray Road, or are there plans afoot to sell the Ashbrooke Road school and the extensive grounds off to developers, I wonder?
Planning permission would be no problem. You just need to look at the permission given to the likes of Williamson Hall in a so-called conservation area at the Cloisters. Unless, of course, you are a single house holder then, by golly, you will get nowhere with these people at the Civic Centre.

This multi-million pound company was allowed to put a cheap fence in its place when building Williamson Hall.
