OBJECTION TO ARK SCHOOL

Though refused planning consent earlier this year the Ark Pioneer academy has submitted a further application, this time for a secondary school only. We had argued that a junior school was not needed and were pleased to see that this has been dropped from the latest application. Though the smaller school does overcome some of the previous concerns regarding the suitability of such a large school on this site, we are still not satisfied that the school is needed in this part of the Borough and concerns about traffic remain. For more on this read our objection.

BRA aims to watch and safeguard the interests of residents in the area covered. We take an interest in matters in the area which might affect residents such as parking and road safety, local transport and more generally the plans and activities of the local Council. We look at planning applications for major projects which might affect people generally, although we do not have the resources to look at all small planning applications.

Membership is only £4 (single) or £6 (family) for a year. Members get three newsletters per year plus regular emails about events in the area. To join, see below.

To be alerted when a new newsletter is published on the web site, subscribe to the web feed.

Our exact terms of reference can be seen in the Association's Constitution.

If you would like to join us please send us your name and address via email, and we will let you know our bank account details so that you can transfer the membership fee or set up a standing order. Our email address is at the foot of the page -- it is an image to prevent spam, so you will have to type it in again.

A standing order form (PDF, 38Kb) is available for you to download, print, fill in and pass direct to your bank. Note that you will have to add the BRA's 8 digit account number when you fill it in. The account number has been deliberately omitted for security reasons.
