Residents fear they will receive 'more abuse' if plans to expand a Cheshire school are approved. Proposals have been put forward for a new teaching block at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive, but there are concerns that this could have ‘potentially serious implications for emergency vehicles and residents’ on already gridlocked roads.
The school has applied for full planning permission to build a new stand-alone teaching block with classrooms to cater for an additional 150 pupils, and the application has now been recommended for approval by Cheshire East’s planning officers.
But Dane Valley councillor Les Gilbert (Con) has asked Wednesday’s meeting of the southern planning committee to consider the highways implications due to parents who are 'often abusive' when challenged by residents whose drives are regularly blocked.
