I live in Rosehill Park West, I cannot get out of my drive on school mornings with the amount of traffic passing by, this ridiculous idea of a new school so close to 3 others would bring the whole area to a major stand still, the most stupid idea I’ve heard of putting a school in this green area, turn this area into useable green space bring back the old pitch and putt, anything but houses or a SCHOOL!!!
