The Director for Children and Schools is to recommend to a meeting of Extraordinary Council next Thursday (26th November) that the current consultation on a review of secondary education in Haverfordwest is discontinued.
Kate Evan-Hughes will put forward slightly modified proposals to Councillors and recommend that they approve the launch of a new consultation on those proposals.
She will also inform Councillors that the procedure followed in relation to the statutory consultation is considered to be challengeable, and that it is advisable to discontinue statutory consultation and recommence formal consultation with the Trustees of the Tasker Milward and Picton Charity prior to commencing a new consultation.
If the Director’s recommendation is approved by Councillors, this will be the third statutory consultation on secondary education in Haverfordwest.
“We are very aware that this is the third time we are seeking to consult on education in Haverfordwest, but we are determined to get this process absolutely right for the sake of our children’s education,” said Kate.
“As ever, we are very grateful for the public’s input to the process and ask them to persevere with us as we endeavour to get the very best outcome for our schools.”
As a result of the new recommendations to be put to members, the public meetings due to take place in Haverfordwest on the current consultation have been cancelled.
The meetings were due to take place on 23rd and 30th November at the Archives. All those who have reserved places are being contacted.
