Council’s Response To Consultation Evening


Normally I would just link to the original document(.doc file) but I felt this should get it’s own post here too. Here is the official response by Aberdeen City Council to the consultation evening of Nov 6th.

Objection Form


You can use this form to automatically send your objections or comments to all four Bucksburn Councillors and David Leng(Head of the ACC Department involved in this). We’ve even filled in an example – use this or write your own.
A copy will also be sent to the parent council – we will not use your personal information for any purpose. We are just counting the emails sent.

-OR-

Use bucksburn@bucksburn.info if you have no email address

If the form does not disappear and replace itself with a thank you message and instead you get the 404 “You are looking for something that just isn’t here” please refresh and try again. Occasionally the site has a bit of lag due to technical reasons that I won’t go in to! If you don’t get the thank you confirmation page your email did not send.
Councillor McDonald has responded to the default form above with the following—

Public Consultation


This Thursday sees the public consultation event held in Bankhead Academy at 19:00. Please come to this and show your support for the school. The parent council and PTA are meeting shortly beforehand to help out with clearing up anything you may feel needs to be addressed as well as just provide someone to sit with!

If you wish to view the consultation document it is available by following this link (.pdf file) and there is a hard copy in the school.

The parent council/PTA have developed their own views on key points requiring attention and would encourage all parents to speak with us with any concerns and to find out our opinions.

Bucksburn After School Care


I’ve been forwarded this email from Lynn, our Chairperson, in respect of the proposed after school care currently attempting launch.

Dear All,

Many thanks to the 5 parents who attended the meeting held at the Beacon Community Centre on Wed 10th Sept.

A short presentation was given by CLICC, before the floor was opened up to the parents for questions, after which, the group agreed that CLICC should take on the management of the project.

CLICC will now proceed to write their own business plan before registering with the Care Commission. This is a process that can take anything from 3 to 6 months, but due to the work that has already been put in place by the Development Officers, the process will hopefully not take quite as long.

All further developments will be carried out by CLICC, and I imagine that they will contact families from all three schools in due course.

Best wishes for the future

Kind regards

Hopefully we’ll have a fully functioning out-of-school care system set up soon in Bucksburn/Newhills.

Amalgamation


Well done Stoneywood school on achieving their goal of status-quo. Now Bucksburn and Newhills…

“We propose to go to consultation on a new school for Bucksburn and Newhills, a suggestion that has fairly widespread support within the local community. Neither of these two schools are fit for purpose and a new school will complement the new Bucksburn Academy giving the area two new schools fit for the 21st century.”

The words of Councillor Kirsty West.

Is this true?
