There are two separate but important local consultations underway that effect the provision of education for Chorleywood.

A New School

As highlighted to us earlier by one of the local councilors, Three Rivers District council have launched a consultation regarding Development plans for the district. This covers a number of local planning issues but importantly one of them is allocation of land suitable for a new secondary school within the Three Rivers area. Basically the options are between two sites in Maple Cross and three sites in Croxley Green.

For more information you should consult the WD3 School Action Group blog - a local action group that has been set up to campaign for additional secondary school capacity within the WD3 postcode area.

For more information on the consultation and how to respond see our separate article on Three Rivers launches Site Options Development consultation in the Planning section of the website. The school land choices features on pages 3 to 8 of the Site Options document.

School Transport

Don't forget that Herfordshire County Council have a consultation on changes to the provision of school transport which we've already written about.

We have until the 26th January 2011 to make comments on this - read about it more in the article Herts County Council launch consultation on School Transport
