Didn't that used to back on to Sabey's tip?
Now I do remember fields of cabbages and courting in the Pack Hills.

Ah, right. Now I know where you mean. Am trying to remember what was there.

This is exactly what we need in an area which is already hugely overpopulated, and facing a serious water shortage ?? Bonkers, but what do I know ?

is any part of this rant worth replying too?

Only the part as to whether there is an intention or not to build a new school on green belt land in Hayes?

And if so as to why the Council think it is needed?

obvious the increase in population from overseas was never thought through, maybe had we more schools when the folk who make these decisions attended the problem would never have arose.

They have to increase the population Jim. Build houses for them the increase manufacture consumer goods and all the rest of it.

Its called growth and it's the only way they can keep the creditors at bay and keep rolling over the National debt.

In that regard what not what they say but what they do...

ok hear is just some of the report re new schools in Hillingdon, This is part of the cabinet agenda and the reports of which are all public documents you can read online….the main fact is from 2008 there has been an increase from the usual 3500 births to well over 4400 births and it is not a spike this has continued year on year…unfortunately the vast majority are centred in the south of the borough (my backyard) which means most of the classes needed will be in and around Hayes,West Drayton and Yiewsley..

Phase 3 (New Schools)
Lake Farm
Officers are working to progress the proposed new school at Lake Farm. Surveys are being carried out on the site. This information will be combined with the Hillingdon schools brief and sent out to those organisations who have already expressed an interest during the initial procurement process. Once the responses have been returned, they will be analysed and drawn together into a feasibility report that will comment on the sites themselves, and the viability of the different construction options and priced tenders.
It is scheduled to take this decision to Cabinet in early in 2012. This would enable the new school to be ready for a September 2014 intake, assuming there are no delays associated with planning issues.
RAF Uxbridge
The RAF Uxbridge developer VSM is working closely with the Council to share technical knowledge concerning the site. VSM have confirmed they are willing to transfer the school land to the Council early in the development programme.
The current draft of the s106 planning agreement indicates that the Council will be able to choose to start building the school as soon as it gets the land. VSM will make regular payments over the course of the rest of the development programme.
The feasibility exercise as described for Lake Farm (above) will be carried out simultaneously for RAF Uxbridge. Cabinet will receive an update on this in early 2012, along with Lake Farm above and be given the necessary information to make informed choices about the way forward on both sites.


so as you can see nothing DEVIOUS, no STEALING no GRABBING no HOODWINKING, this was announced last year as Hillingdon Council will not let the children in the borough be taught in Church Halls, Bingo Halls or community centres as other local authorities are having to!

And there-in lies the very obvious problem that most ordinary folk have already recognised and identified for a number of years. An increase in the birth rate approaching 25% in an already overcrowded corner of the borough ( and country ) is simply not sustainable. Yet on an on it goes, why ??
