Bitterne Park Ward Councillor and Cabinet Member for Children’s Services Peter Baillie says he hopes to bring the issue to December’s meeting.
If Cabinet decides to reverse the original decision, then it’s thought that the PlayFootball proposal will stop there. If not, then PlayFootball will be able to submit a new planning application, which will go through the normal process.
In August Cllr Baillie told a public meeting at Bitterne Park Baptist
Church that
the scheme was on hold until “the community, governors and management
give it the green light.” School governors did just that in September. But there has been considerable community opposition to the idea: the “No PlayFootball at Bitterne Park School” website details, amongst a long list of objections, a 680+ petition to the governing body which called on them not to approve any scheme that involves establishing a third party owned and operated bar on the school site.
Now residents who are against such a development are being urged by the
campaign to attend the meeting to show opposition. It takes place on
Monday December 22 from 5pm at the Civic Centre (in the main Council
Chamber) and is open to the public. Links
