Latest news on the Manor Hall and Coalpit Heath Pre-School

There was a lengthy debate at the Manor Hall SGM on Monday evening about the issues surrounding Coalpit Heath Pre-School being given notice. This ended with the Parishioners present voting on whether the notice should be withdrawn, although the Trustees said that under their constitution they would not be bound by the outcome. In the event the Parishioners voted 54 votes to 36 against withdrawing the notice.

Pat Hill said that she wishes to stand down as Chair of the Trustees at the AGM, which is due to be held on 11th August. Notices will be posted at least 14 days before. She invited new people to come forward to apply to be trustees by 1st July - more information is available here.

It was announced that a new pre-school provider had already agreed to move into the Manor Hall as early as possible in the new school year. The new provider will be circulating information shortly.

Coalpit Heath Pre-School has announced they will be moving to Mafeking Hall off Serridge Lane from September. They will have sole use of the building during the day, which will enable them to offer an increased service for 2-5 year olds, with a breakfast club, longer opening hours and a large outdoor forest school play area. They are putting in place assisted travel arrangements. For more information phone 07715 531066 or 07979 475757 or email Charnicholls12@hotmail.co.uk
