Derbyshire County Council are considering building a new school to accommodate both the Town End Junior School and the Tibshelf Infant School on the former school playing fields.
Last year, Derbyshire County Council launched a consultation for local residents to let them know their views. The options the council put forward were to continue the new school project, involving the closure and demolition of the two smaller schools; or to discontinue the plans for a new school and refurbish the two smaller schools.
We are both in favour of the proposals to build a new school as it would give our young people a modern, fit-for-purpose, school with a good learning environment, which will increase their life chances and give them the best possible start in life. But we need your support!
That's why we're asking you to sign our petition and back the campaign to secure funding for a new - combined - school for primary education in Tibshelf.
The more signatures the petition receives the greater chance our requests will be accepted, so please share this as widely as possible.
Well where do I start … to say the General Election announcement came as a surprise, would be an understatement, but I'm looking forward to the next six weeks, speaking with residents is my favourite part of the job, so I hope to see some of you soon!
This will be my last update as yo
