New Ideas and Letter to the PM!!!!

So more developments today, well from me anyway. I have had some further ideas due to the announcements in the local press of more housing to be built in Stowmarket and I have had no responses from Mr David Ruffley MP or Mr Graham Newman, Portfolio holder for schools in Suffolk. So I have sent another SOR response letter to the original addressee's and a copy of both letters to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and the Education Secretary. We will see if I get any response!!!!

Copies of today's letter's follow:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have also had some further thoughts about the way Stowmarket and Stowupland could organise the school structure over the next few years. With the school leaving age being raised from 16 to 18 how about having the old Stowmarket Middle School building as a 16-18yr sixth form college taking all the 16-18yr olds from the potential three high schools I proposed previously. This may again mean some modest investment to allow further education to be carried out on site.

With more housing developments being approved within the Stowmarket area there seems to me to be a need for more and more school places if we are not going to cram the children into classes like sardines.  I noticed in the local press this week that the District Council have now agreed more homes on Gipping Way and the further extension of Stowmarket on the Chilton Leys Development, these amount to somewhere in the region of another 1200 homes that local schools will have to provide places for. I would like to know if the County Council have taken all these extra numbers into consideration when they have been planning the school review in this area.

Letter to PM and Deputy PM:

 Dear Prime Minister

During the last couple of months I have been compiling correspondence to lots of individuals within my local county council (Suffolk).  Whilst I have had lots of nice responses from council workers and schools, I have not received responses from my local MP Mr David Ruffley or the Councillor who holds the Portfolio for schools in Suffolk Mr Graham Newman.

This is the first time that I have ever undertaken any sort of correspondence with any political party or council and I have found the whole experience quite frustrating and disheartening. So I decided that I would write to you and ask you to look at the correspondence that I have sent to them and to see if you could tell me why I have not received a response.

 The correspondence that I have been sending is all to do with the Schools Organisation Review that the county council is carrying out in the Stowmarket area. For fear of repeating myself I have sent copies of my original letters for you to read and perhaps comment. I have also written to the Education Secretary.

Any Comments from readers would be great please.
