Liberals Launch Newsham Park Petition to Save Victorian Park

Liberal Party Members have launched a petition across Fairfield and Newsham Park to object to the current plans for the Kensington Academy. "We would welcome a new secondary school/academy for Kensington , however this is the wrong location - just looking across Kensington there is no shortage of large sites that would be better"

Major concerns are

1) 4 Storey modern Builidng would fundamentally change style of Conservation status Newsahm Park

2) Only 18 car park places for a secondary school with excess of 900 pupils andd staff is laughable, it would turn Elm Park into a giant parking lot

3) The plans propose opening up Newsham Park to through traffic undermining its role as a safe recreational park. The roads were closed to prevent it becoming a race track every night
