We, the undersigned, believe there are insufficient primary school places for children living in central St Albans, and as such Hertfordshire County Council should urgently make available extra school classes for 2009/10 at Maple, St Peters and Aboyne Lodge which are the schools located in the areas most affected.

In addition, in order to provide a long-term solution to this problem, we believe that priority must be given to building a new primary school, in a suitable position in relation to the areas affected, to ensure that such a shortfall never happens again.
