Don't Move Darras Hall First School Recipient: Northumberland County Council Letter: Greetings, Save Darras Hall First School - Don't Move, Improve ! Comments Name Location Date Comment Angela Brown Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 I strongly believe moving the school will effect families and local business. United Kingdom A first school in the centre of Darras Hall is what the community wants but what the commumity needs. Amanda Affleck Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 Under no circumstances should the school be moved. Yes a new school would United Kingdom be nice but on the exsisting plot that the school is on at the minute. I believe travelling to and from school if it were to be moved would become an absolute nightmare. There are already traffic problems in and around Darras Hall this would just create total gridlock. I think the council should be working closer with the local community and the parents governors of the school to come up with a suitable soloution that meets everyone's needs. Carly Clark Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 Darras hall first school is on a fantastic plot and has history! Yes the school United Kingdom could be updated but not moved. Mrs C Clark. Rebecca Bunting Newcastle upon tyne, 2015-11-16 We moved earlier this year to be close to a school we could walk to and be part United Kingdom of a community, this would not be the case if the schools location was moved. James Bunting Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 Quite frankly with the information we currently have this appears to be a stupid Kingdom decision that ultimately puts the education and well being of very young children at huge risk. The same young children that as adults we are supposed to protect and educate. Do not move the school. Allison Hull Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 Common sense should prevail. Improve not move. United Kingdom Georgina Fogarty Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 Improve don't move. United Kingdom I strongly agree that this school needs to stay and continue its fantastic efforts with our future children. harriet curson Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 The school is fantastic where is it and how it is Kingdom John Bunting Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 I strongly object to the relocation of an outstanding school because it fits in with Kingdom Nothumberland County Council's planned rape of Ponteland David Lockie Berwick upon Tweed, 2015-11-16 We have a grandchild at DHFS and two more to follow. We worry about their United Kingdom safety at the huge industrial-type educational institution that is proposed. We also object to the environmental consequences of a large number of children who can walk or cycle to school being made to go in cars. (I can't think many parents will want to put small children onto a bus to go to such a daunting place.) Raymond Banner Maghull, United Kingdom 2015-11-16 I am a very concerned Grandparent and can see the stupidity of the planned development. Liam Cusack Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 It's ludicrous moving a school 2 miles away where 3 years olds will be sharing Kingdom a site with 18 years olds Elaine Stroud Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 I'm signing because the proposals to move the First School are crazy, Kingdom unworkable and must be stopped Anne Thomson Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 To site children from 4 yrs together with 16 yr olds is inconceivable and United Kingdom inappropriate on both parts ....in addition to the obvious bottle neck of traffic that will inevitably occur Name Location Date Comment Mark Phillipps Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 This school is excellent and my childrens current place of education. This Kingdom school is central in darras hall, although development is needed moving this to rotary way will only result in additional congestion from parents having to use vehicles to take their children to school. The current site has sufficient space for building on the field a new school and then using the current site for state of the art playing facilities for the children to use during school time, and the local community on evenings and weekends. Gwynneth Watchman Durham, United Kingdom 2015-11-16 I have seen the benefits of the present location for our grandsons' access to school. Rebecca Craig Morpeth, United Kingdom 2015-11-16 A school should serve its local community, primary children should be able to walk to school not need to be driven by parents this is a very both a socially and environmentally poor planning decision Brenda Jeffers Newcastle, United 2015-11-16 I do not think the children are going to gain anything at all from this proposal Kingdom Johanna Dubois Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 Darras Hall First School is an integral part of the community. The ability for Kingdom children to walk to school is priceless. The location also enables parents to meet and so increases the feeling of community within the estate. Alix Olds Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 This school is fab - just improve the building don't move - I believe little ones Kingdom should not be mixed with middle and high school Beverley Kelso Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 I don't believe there is a need to move the school, yes improvement is needed Kingdom but relocation isn't! Keep DHFS at the heart of the community. Stacey Edmondson Darlington, United 2015-11-16 I am signing because I have friends who's children go to this school and the Kingdom proposed changes are rediculous. Ekta Gulati Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 The school needs to stay where it is. New site would be terrible for first school United Kingdom children. None of them would be able to walk to school. jane Bradley Newcastle upon Tyne 2015-11-16 It's rediculous moving sites. Traffic is bad enough as it is now . Moving the Tyne & wear, United school will make this a hell of a lot worse. The school is in the heart of darras Kingdom hall . Yes it needs improvement but not moving sites. Build a new one in the same grounds . My daughter used to go to prevent school at darras hall 1st school. It's a lovely school will not be the same moved Mark Young Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 It is not in the best interests of the pupils and the community to move the Kingdom school. I anita Foster Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 There is absolutely no justifiable reason, educational or otherwise, to move this Kingdom school. Doing so will create insurmountable problems, and will destroy a community. Merle Lewis Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 Its an unnecessary evil to move DHFS. United Kingdom Phil Hoffmann Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 This decision will affect the education of the youngest members of our United Kingdom community, have a detrimental economic impact on local businesses on Broadway. Create traffic problems in and around the school and wider local area. I am totally against this action and feel it is driven by monetary gain in relation to the value of the land that the school sits on. Helen Jeavans Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 I have friends with children at the school and it is not a positive move in so United Kingdom many ways that it is a mystery what the potential benefits will be to the children and the community-as usual something guided by finance rather than anything else-ridiculous Jacqueline Jackson Newcastle upon Tyne, 2015-11-16 The site is perfectly viable for enhancement or a complete re-build United Kingdom Greenbelt land should be kept as such Name Location Date Comment Andrea Hallissey Chester, United Kingdom 2015-11-16 Both my grandchildren attend the school. To move this vital hub off the community 2 miles from those it serves makes no sense. Young children deserve to stay children and enjoy the freedom that cones with it. Grouping all ages in one vacility will not be the best option for these young impressionable children Elise Harrison Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 I went to this school and as a former student, I can definitely say that this Kingdom school is definitely the heart of the community. With so many memories it would be devastating for it to be moved. As a student of Ponteland High School, I can definetly say that it's no place for younger children below the ages of 13, yes it is also an amazing school where we learn things that can help us in life, however even though you'd like to think it, unfortunately the school is not an area where young children should be. I think it would cause a lot of anxiety for the younger children and it's not the type of atmosphere I'd like my younger siblings to be in. I personally think you should just improve DHFS and rebuild the Middle School and High School on the Green Belt as two different schools. karen carden Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 This will cause traffic mayhem yes the schools need improvements but not new Kingdom builds. The school will no longer be in the heart of the village, no educational gain whatsoever !!! If such funding is available improve current sites Kelly Todd Ponteland, United 2015-11-16 Darras Hall First School is placed at the heart of the community it serves. Kingdom Moving it will be to the detriment of the children, the community and local businesses too.
