MORE THAN MONEY – Hopes following Kevicc Lower Field Public Meeting
The very short summary: the opportunity for school and community to agree together something wonderful and vital for future generations by saving Kevicc Lower Field and using the Elmhirst building for the benefit of the community is a much bigger and more valuable goal than the opportunity the school has for a higher private bid than the council’s market value offer of £2.5 million for the plot. To take a big step towards that goal, the Why This Field campaign (with the Town Council if permitted) should be able to meet with the full board of 10 volunteer governors who will be deciding the future of the land, so that they get the full picture, not one limited to the views and reports of just the governors who attended the meeting, one of whom – the head governor – stated that the highest £££ bid has to be accepted. The Community and Kevicc engaging together on this is the way ahead.
