Nichola takes new school plans in new direction

by Paul Saunders on 31 May, 2015

Local Lib Dems have proposed investing £12m to build over 100 new affordable homes on the site, and Nichola is keen to see if a school could form part of any new development.

Nichola said: “Romsey urgently needs a new primary school, and it’s good the County Council has finally listened to us and commissioned a report looking at various options. “However, in terms of best meeting Romsey families’ needs, I think we should look at whether the Mill Road depot site could be used for both new housing and a new school.”

Nichola added: “Because the City Council own the site, this could be done much more quickly than elsewhere. I believe this could be the best solution for Romsey.”
