Decision details

The Temporary Service Director of 21^st Century Schools and Transformation provided an update to Members on the proposal to establish new primary education provision to serve the new housing development at Llanilid, Llanharan. Members were advised that this would be achieved, in the first instance, by treating the new building that will be provided by the housing developers as an extension to the dual-language provision at the existing Dolau Primary School. 

Members were advised of the number of planning constraints the housing developers taking forward the build of the school had encountered and for this purpose it was suggested that as a result of this delay, and to mitigate any additional risks that may arise with this project, a delay to the implementation date by three years, the maximum delay allowed within the School organisation Code, which will postpone the implementation date of the proposal until September 2024 be considered.

The Leader of the school supported the proposal and the new timeframe to be taken forward.

The Cabinet Member for Adult Community Services and Welsh Language spoke on the item, as a local member and welcomed the extension.

It was RESOLVED:

      I.         To note the information contained within the Report.

    II.          To agree to delay the implementation date of the proposal to September 2024.
