I stumbled upon this petition by accident as a Tunstall resident looking into the plans for the new school online and I have to say I am confused!!! why is everyone arguing?
It is my understanding that the case for a new school has already been agreed and now it is at the planning stage. A petition is therefore pointless! The comments on this site are also worthless. The SBC and KCC planning departments will certainly not see them so what is the point of it all?

It inflates our self indulgent egos and allows us the basic human right to beat others over the heads with opinions they have no wish to hear.

It would be fundamentally UN-British to not have an avenue to moan and whine, and if we had a constitution then I would say that right would be amendment #1.

You are free to join in exploring your inner grump and help others express theirs too.  As a resident of Tunstall, are you for or against the new school, it doesn't matter if it will go ahead or not, if it's a good idea or not, your opinions are highly valued here and will only be thrown back at you if they disagree with someone elses.

Thats where the argument starts it is a planning application and is and will be contested. It is not agreed and has now to go through several meetings to decide if ot has to go ahead or be delayed or be thrown out. Yes it is a talking point and no one just stumbles to this site. You have to find it. the argument is just two sides in dispute for or against simple as that.
