The Village School

As a result of concerns expressed  from local residents Jim Moher and George Crane, your Fryent Councillors, met Brent Council Regeneration Team and the appointed Village School contractors, Leadbitters, to present concerns and clarify plans.  The Head Teacher of the Village School, Kay Johnson, joined us for the meeting.

We discussed the building programme, community consultation and managing traffic. There has been considerable discussion and extensive consultation on the complicated subject of managing traffic both at Kingsbury High school and Grove Park sites. 

To progress the rebuilding of the school, work has begun on the temporary building at Kingsbury High School and is due for completion at the end of August for the next academic year. Further discussions are planned with the Council Transportation and Planning Teams on traffic management and a travel plan for the school.

The contractors, Leadbitters, have appointed a Community Liaison person to keep residents informed and to respond to any concerns during the project. The contractor will also have a local labour initiative including training and apprenticeships as a boost to the local economy.
