Car Parking Arrangements
From next week, beginning on 16th June and for six weeks thereafter, you will notice additional cars at the far end of our car park on a Monday to Friday. They belong to Carters contractors who are beginning work nearby on the new special school off the Wheatridge. We hope inconvenience will be limited.
