Throughout this project, we would like to engage with and involve the community as much as possible on key decisions around the new school and residential building. Drawing on local knowledge and views from our neighbours, the local community and parents of the CoLPAI pupils, we would like your input on a number of key issues.

PREVIOUS CONSULTATIONS:

Replacement of trees on-site, adjacent to the allotments is now closed.

The consultation event launched at our COLPAI Project Drop-In Event on Thursday 21 March 2019 and the online survey closed on Friday 5 April 2019 at midnight.

24 participants took part in the consultation and were asked a:

• Choice of two options for the replacement of trees on-site

• Preference on planting small or large trees.

The Results

52% of respondents stated a Native Wood mix as their preference. Respondents noted that the large canopy coverage of the Native Wood Mix option, would provide good shelter for the allotments.

78.1% of respondents noted their preference was for the replacement of trees to be of smaller size in order to be more sustainable. Smaller trees would grow taller and live longer.

The majority of respondents were Golden Lane Estate residents, with 62% of these respondents selecting the Native Wood Mix option.

Thank you to those who participated in the consultation. We will plant the preferred option Native Wood Mix on completion of the school and will keep you updated on the next steps.

We apologise for any inconvenience but the COLPAI School Waste Strategy consultation has been discontinued.
