Wellsway progress ; Brief Letters

I am writing to welcome the revised proposals for WellswaySchool's new sports hall which have now been submitted for planningpermission. The previous plans caused significant concern among manyresidents neighbouring the school as the sports hall would have beenextremely close to some homes and the height of it would have beenoverly intrusive to residents.

I, and fellow Keynsham East councillor Bryan Organ, supported theconcerns of residents over the previous plans and it was good thatthe Planning Committee sent these back to be revised.

The revised plans appear to take on board the concerns which wereraised, moving the sports hall further away from local houses and ata lower, less intrusive, height.

Hopefully these revised plans will then mean that we can soonhave in Keynsham excellent new facilities which local schoolchildren, and the wider community, can use and enjoy, whilst alsomeeting with the approval of neighbouring residents.
