Issue - meetings

Council received and noted the Chairman’s report.

County Councillor D. Batrouni presented a presentation:

‘The special needs base at Deri View is a fantastic resource with expertly skilled staff, a sensory room, and sensory garden and is importantly the only local provision for children with additional learning needs in the immediate area. The current proposal wishes to close this provision and for these children to travel by bus for 30 minutes to the next closest provision in Monmouth, or even further to out of county special schools. This petition is to request that the Council protects Deri View’s special needs unit which would protect these children's education, will save jobs and will promote the local community school.’

The petition was presented to the Chairman and would be presented to the appropriate officer.
