The green light has been given by county councillors for the building of Nottinghamshire's latest primary school but not before they expressed concerns about the size of the school, inadequate parking spaces and possible traffic problems. Millside Spencer Academy is being built to serve new housing developments in East Leake.
The £13 million 315-place school, which will have a 26-place nursery, is being built on a divided site off Evans Road, which is separated by a privately-owned piece of land and will become a footpath between the main school and the playing field area. Outline planning permission for the school was granted by Nottinghamshire County Council last June.
A temporary school learning village is being set up to cater for local children in time for this September, ahead of the new school being completed in September 2023.
