SOS Reigate Priory

Stupid Council Committee approved the planning to destroy RPJS families

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

*Summary*
Priory School is a 'community' junior school in the heart of the 'community' being forcibly ripped from the 'community' without any benefits being demonstrated to that 'community'.

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

Quite a few would say moving it to a location that makes it inaccessible to children who will be left with no junior school will have a greater impact on children's education. Is it time for Mr Moses to resign if he's that disappointed by his ofsted outstanding rated school?

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

Mr Moses said: "We are compromising children's education and wellbeing every single day we remain in it.

And yet it's outstanding rating by Ofsted and "Proud to be Priory" motto begs to differ. Something doesn't add up here.

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

Councillor Ernest Mallett MBE rebutted concerns, saying "we are in the age of the car" and telling the committee: "Wherever the school is were going to have traffic problems."

Wow - what a great role model for our children?

Surrey's principal highways officer said the plans needed a significant number of highway improvements and admitted it would be an "unusually car dependent school site".

Feeling very sad today...definitely won't be enjoying our summer now as instead of that we are having to rethink our families future in Reigate. With no accessible junior school following our infant school journey we just won't be able to stay here.

SCC full of corruption. Next steps to follow…watch this space!

Heard on the grapevine it won’t be October either, partially due to the sad collapse of ISG (the appointed building contractors) and SCC needing to consider the implications of this

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

Just had a look and it's not on the agenda for next week (have Wednesday free now). Would they seriously put it forward at the next planning committee meeting on the 30th October during half-term?

Interesting info just shared with us in relation to the re-submitted planning application for Reigate Priory Junior School. Published end date is 12th August to comment, but we apparently have up until noon the day before it’s returned to the committee.

My objection to the latest Priory School planning app 👇
I know I won't have captured all the problems in detail, but be rest assured I am making representations on all this directly, as well as through the planning process.

#Reigate Priory has been a primary school since 1948. If you believe that future generations should benefit from an outstanding education in the heart of our community, please take a moment today to object to this proposal to move the school.

@GreyLadyRH2 Came to the same conclusion

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

Have taken the time to read the many objections that have come in so far. Make sure your voice is also heard!

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

Don't forget to add your comments - it appears on paper to be very weak attempts to get it through planning next time.

R&B conservation officer not sounding too keen either

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

"In terms of the harm to the historic park and garden at Woodhatch Place this remains at substantial harm due to the scale of the proposed building and loss of parkland from hardstanding and artificial grass..."

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

Tree officer at R&B doesn't sound too keen on the plan.

[SOS Reigate Priory @SosPriory]

"Fundamentally the scheme by virtue of its mass and layout neither appropriately respects the rights of the adjoining property owners, preserves sufficient areas of the locally listed landscape garden, nor suitably preserves the protected woodland belt fronting Cockshot Hill."

@stopthemove_rp I've also written to all the Planning Committee members - contact details are on the website https://t.co/dYjLhx4NUE
