@stopthemove_rp @SurreyCouncil Think you’ll find the word “proposal” key here. If they really wanted to make cockshot hill safer they would (and should) have done it already - new school or not. The children already having to use it deserve better.

@SurreyCouncil @CTMorris23 @ReigateLibDems @kate45248694 @ReigateRabbit @stopthemove_rp @LoveReigate We’ve heard all about those meetings…tick box exercise and nothing more. Prove us wrong and actually *listen* to parents for a change.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@ReigateRabbit My kid corroborated it - apparently they can’t go in the gym until it’s repaired. Didn’t happen whilst the kids were there though.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@SurreyNews @BetterPoints I find it hilarious that you advocate walking, cycling, and scooting to school but then don’t worry about the distance between home and school to make it viable for our children to do so safely. Do better.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@SurreyCouncil Thanks Sally, that’s very helpful. Will there be significant notification before it does go before the planning committee again?

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@SurreyCouncil As you’re going to pursue the planning application for the relocation of RPJS despite the majority choosing option 2 - when will this be going back to your planning committee? People are saying next month but surely you need to actually fix some of it first?

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@ReigateRabbit @RayReil99800379 @stuart_holmes1 @kate45248694 @reigatebanstead @RBBCCouncillors Yes, they said the same to me at the most recent consultation. Which obviously didn’t match up with what they said two years ago. Personally I think they’re just saying whatever they think will stop us from worrying about it being left to decay if it’s not a school.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@SurreyCouncil When you say later this year, does that mean it won’t be next month? Weeks doesn’t sound like any amendments to it will be big enough to make a difference to the families that it would negatively impact if it were to pass planning.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@kate45248694 @Scandiwegians @stuart_holmes1 I think the same would rule out hotels etc. The only realistic alternative use would be ideas like register office, library, etc., but then you come back to the maintenance costs falling on SCC which is one of the reasons they keep saying the school can’t stay there.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@SurreyNews And when would it be going back in front of the planning committee?

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@SurreyNews Your “no one left behind” is admirable - however by pursuing the relocation to WHP without a suitable alternative school for Holmesdale families you will be leaving all of those families behind. They won’t be able to get between the two schools safely and on time.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@stuart_holmes1 @ReigateRabbit @stopthemove_rp Yep, same here. It’s stopping me from going. I’d won’t be able to walk to Holmesdale Community Infant School in time for pick up. Don’t think it would be fair to be late just because SCC doesn’t appear to recognise the distance between WHP and the main feeder school for Priory.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@stopthemove_rp @Stocklington @00kik @ReigateLibDems Pretty sure SCC said at one point DfE didn’t want to be involved in a contentious planning application (one of the reasons given for not building on the existing site), but look what’s happened since?

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@stopthemove_rp @Stocklington @00kik @ReigateLibDems Agree, although I think it’s worth pointing out that their “easy solution” is proving to not to be as easy as they thought. Especially considering the money they’ve spent in trying to get it through planning.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@ReigateLibDems @ReigateRabbit You also have to question what they spent the money on? Even if the motive was honest and true, the cost seems a ridiculous amount to try and get the job done.

"We met with them, but it wasn't clear whether they'd be amenable to exploring further options at the current site"

They also don’t talk to each other & don’t keep up with each others lies, it’s quite fun correcting them with what their colleagues have previously said.

[Kamaco Yo @kamacoyo]

@SurreyCouncil Please reconsider the whole plan. I’ve done 4 years of running between Holmesdale and Priory already, with 1 more year to go - when I tell you it’s not feasible for parents to get between the two in the time required if Priory is moved I mean it. You need a better plan.
