Letter to Residents From Holywell School Regarding Building Work Over the Summer Break

Dear Residents,

Following a successful bid to the Department for Education Condition Improvement Fund, we have been scheduled to have some significant updates to our school building and grounds. The work being carried out is essential in order for the school to remain compliant under health and safety and safeguarding regulations.

The work is scheduled to start from next week, 25th July 2022. We hope the majority of the work will be completed before the start of the next academic year in September.

One part of the job will be to replace the exterior fencing around the perimeter of the building with new 6ft security fencing and to install a new automatic main gate and pedestrian gates on the front of the school. For residents, this will mean the contractors will have to trim the hedges along the side of the field and playground in order to install the new posts and fencing. This can only be done safely once the birds have finished nesting so maybe towards the end of the Summer holiday and into the start of the new term. Please be assured this will not affect residents' gardens.

We have also spoken to our gardening company who will be cutting down a number of the very large pine trees on the field which have now become too high and dense. This should allow for more light in the gardens adjacent to the school field. This work is scheduled for September and again, we hope will cause minimal disruption.

Thank you in advance for your support and understanding.

Yours sincerely,
