Proposal to Build a Free Secondary School and an Enlarged Primary School on Rokeby Fields
A group called SHARE, Sustainable Hillside and Rokeby Education, with the slogan 'Protecting Rokeby to Protect Rugby' has been formed to campaign for a new secondary school where it is required, in the north of Rugby (north of the West Coast Main Railway Line) where there is only one secondary school, not in the south where we already have three secondary schools and two selective secondary schools. SHARE suggests that if you are of a similar mind you can help in these ways: • E-mail the local papers with a letter for their letters page. Send your thoughts to editorial@rugbyadvertiser.co.uk andeditor@rugbyobserver.co.uk. • The best way to write to our district councillors, county councillors and MP is by using the website www.writetothem.com. If you type your postcode into the box you will be given a list of your representatives and you can email them directly from the website. • Write to or email Rugby Borough Council: Richard Holt, Principal Planning Officer and Rob Back, Head of Planning and Recreation
