Plans To Rebuild School In Liverpool Revealed
Plans to rebuild a high school in Liverpool are to be revealed.
A meeting is to be held at St Julie’s Catholic High School this evening, Wednesday 10th September from 6pm, for local people, parents and pupils to be presented with the preferred option.
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said: "This scheme will deliver a fantastic new school for the area, benefiting hundreds of families who live in and around Woolton, as well as the wider community.
"We have listened to the school and local residents to come up with a workable solution which means the school can stay where it is and minimise the impact on the surrounding area. We believe we have developed an exciting and workable compromise for everyone.
"The proposal we have come up with means 95 percent of the neighbouring field and all of the woodland will be completely untouched, leaving plenty of open space for the local community.
"This is a chance for the local community to come along to the meeting, learn the facts about what we are proposing and see our plans for a fantastic new facility which will benefit generations of young people and the local community."
A complete rebuild on the existing footprint of the St Julie's site is not considered feasible due to tight site constraints, and a comprehensive survey has shown there are no other suitable sites nearby which would deliver a large enough building or provide safe access.
