School planning application welcomed

The submission of the planning application for the new Ysgol Cedewain in Newtown has been welcomed by the area's Member of the Senedd.

Russell George MS, said the £22 million school was a much needed ambitious project.

He said: “I would like to congratulate the council on bringing forward these ambitious plans.
 
“The current facilities have been inadequate for many years; I know this from my past visits to the school myself. I am thrilled that this much needed, long overdue proposal is now moving forward, the new school will provide a positive impact on the lives and health of the pupils who will attend the school.”
 
“As part of the proposed development, the new school building will have purpose-built and state-of-the-art facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, sensory and physiotherapy rooms and garden as well as a community café."
