20 objections to school site-share plan

The Department of Education and Children says it's had 20 objections to plans to merge two Island schools.

St Thomas Primary School will relocate to Scoill Vallajeelt and share a single site under the proposals, although both will continue to run separately.

A freedom of information request to the department asked how many letters it had received both opposing and supporting the plan.

In its response, the department revealed it's had 20 objections - and nobody in favour of the proposal.
