St Philip Neri school, lower Sydenham

Post by syd-gal »

Anyone know what's going on with the school playground. All the bushes along the 2 sides of the streets have been taken out and now the place is entirely open. Are they going to build there?

They are collating both school sites into one. The plans look good.

There was a consultation a while ago about it and an exhibition at the church.

Not that I have a personal interest as my kids aren't there, but they are going to lose a lot of playground as per what happened to Adamsrill when it expanded - and have more kids using it.

My kids were at the school back when this was first proposed, and looking at the plans, it looks like the long proposed plan to buy land at the back of the school from the church has been achieved. The playground and buildings are being reversed, so the existing rear playground will be expanded to include the newly acquired land that backs onto the park. IF I'm reading this correctly.
