NEW SCHOOL FOR WALDERSLADE OUR CHILDREN DESERVE THE BEST

By the beginning of June 2011, children from Walderslade Primary School will have moved into their new school building in Dargets Road. Conservative candidates David Brake and Adrian Gulvin report that already the children have been to visit the new building and the excitement grows as these young people prepare themselves for the future. The school is accredited with being one of the better schools in Medway and they join the rest of the community when they say The children and families in Walderslade deserve the very best when it comes to school buildings and their education. Money is well spent on this project which includes a community area for use by Walderslade residents. Natural lighting has been a key factor in the design. Children will not only enjoy the well laid out classrooms but also a very well appointed assembly hall, dining facilities and a dedicated IT suite.

I If Matt Bright and Pat Gulvin are re-elected they are pledging to make road safety their main priority. They are looking to introduce road safety schemes for Princes Avenue, Heron Way, Scotby Avenue and the surrounding area around Maundene School.
