Issue 1 Relocation of Damers First School to Poundbury

Work is due to begin soon on the new Poundbury First School which will replace Damers First School. I am not completely against the building of a new First School. However i do not agree it should replace an existing school but rather compliment it. Surely with all the new homes being built on Poundbury in the coming years, Poundbury needs its own First School, not one shared with parts of Dorchester as well.

Whats going to happen when this school gets full up and Damers Road has long since been closed and redeveloped? We will need to spend yet more money to build another school or extend Poundbury First to meet the demand. Crazy and very short sighted in my view when a perfectly good First School already exists.
