It is planned to carry out one project at the school to which the Deputy refers which would encapsulate traffic management issues as necessary and if possible.
Funding was originally allocated to the school under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2014 to provide 4 mainstream classrooms, 2 SET rooms and a WC for assisted users.
The school subsequently sought an increase in funding to address traffic management issues. The design proposal put forward by the school in this regard was not acceptable to my Department.
An official from my Department's Professional and Technical team visited the school recently. On foot of this visit, the school was issued with alternative design suggestions. My Department is awaiting a response to these from the school authority.
