North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 33403

Received: 25/03/2019

Respondent: Ms Lucy Lewis

Representation Summary:

I'm surprised to see that there is very little mention of schooling. I would like to know what the plans are for building a secondary school in the area, as the suggested numbers of homes and the projected shortage of secondary school places in the coming years make it a clear necessity.

Without a school on the site, children will have to travel quite a distance off site each day, probably by car, and this seems to go against the laudable aim of this site to provide 'excellent neighbourhood facilities', inclusive social benefits for all, and an environmentally friendly place to live.
