Wood: Welsh medium school plan welcomed

Sep 21st, 2010 | By | Category: Cardiff, Education

Leanne Wood, the Plaid Cymru AM for South Wales Central, has welcomed plans to build a new Welsh medium primary school in Cardiff.

The £9m development would see the overcrowded Ysgol Treganna in Canton and Tan Yr Eos starter class in Grangetown come together on a site in Sanatorium Road.

Leanne Wood said: “The plans put forward by Cardiff council represent the only acceptable viable option because there is just no other land available.

“It will, unfortunately, still mean children having to be taught in cramped conditions for three more years.  Labour opposed a new school in 2008 so delaying this much needed facility.

“What we need now is political will to make this happen. The local authority will need financial help from the Welsh Assembly Government to make sure this scheme goes ahead in the timescale proposed.”
