Bricknell Primary School access

John Fareham and John Abbott report on the latest bit in the ever-growing saga of the Bricknell Primary School gate.

We received complaints that the people building the special-educational-needs facility were saving themselves work, and inconveniencing local residents, by delivering goods via the back gate. We went into action and were told that it would not be happening again because those deliveries had finished. We were annoyed to have been unable to stop it sooner but have asked, at the very least, that an apology is sent to local residents. Obviously, the fact that the SEN facility is being built led us to ask where the school intended letting people in from so we asked. We received the assurance that it was to be from Bricknell Avenue, but that would need monitoring to ensure compliance. We have asked what monitoring will be done, and how, and await that answer which we will share with you.
