PARISH COUNCIL: The draft minutes of the most recent parish council meeting report that they would soon be in a position to report on the position re the new school development. The county council were starting their budget setting process and a motion would be put before the next council meeting to discuss grammar schools. In respect of the north Hellingly primary school the land would be secured and bids and offers would be received, the Regional Schools Commissioner would make the final decision. Some parish councillors had attended a presentation from one of the bidders and were concerned that they would not have the opportunity to attend others nor to be a part of the decision making process. Councillor Bennett urged council to send him their comments and also confirmed that the county council were in the process of looking at the requirement for additional secondary school places.
