RE: Copy of a letter sent to county councillors prior to their meeting last Thursday.

CAN you please answer a few questions I have: 1) How can you vote on such an important decision,when within two years Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion will be come one, where Ceredigion is leading the way forward in Wales on education, why not wait and see there experience?

2) David Lloyd councillor said that he has contacted education and highways re; 100 homes development going to be put in for planning in St Davids, part of the planning is “there has to be a school within a certain distance”.

If this is the true, then what will happen to the proposed application?

3) Doesn’t the education bill state that your children will not be sent to a school where standards are below there present school? Fishguard is well below YDS?

No school in the city of St Davids means that you will find that young families won’t want to stay in the area, hence the area will become barren as the hospital isn’t set up to cater for an influx of ageing residents.

Or they won’t want to retire to an area which cannot look after them.

I could go on and on, but as you have received lots of emails I’ll leave it there.

Please don’t close the schools which are the heart of our community. YDS has a very committed team of teachers, former pupils have gone on to great things, one even made it to the top at PCC.
