Proposed change of location of Islamic primary school

From "Consultation on relocation of Islamia Primary School from September 2024"

Go to the project

I strongly oppose this change. I live very close to the area . Firstly no local residents have been informed of this , I got a leaflet drop today (04/11) telling me the consultation period is 28/09/22 to 19/11/22 & a consultation meeting will be held on 09/11/22. This is an event day area, Brent council ignored the residents on this issue so parking is an absolute nightmare in the area. This is a residential area with one bus route that is always delayed as you can only get one car on the roads due to heavy traffic and full capacity cars constantly parked . Most of the primary schools in the area old & new have been extended and are now undersubscribed . The proposed area is on an industrial estate not suitable for young children but we just cannot cope with the volume of current traffic or non availability of parking in this area. It’s madness that parents with young children have to travel from NW6 to South Kenton . Is there another agenda to close that school for developers to build flats to make lots of money . Not one local resident was aware of this proposal until recently . I object to this and hope Brent planners don’t approve it. I’ve also heard it’s a done deal . If this is the case it’s illegal without proper consultation

I am a parent at the school. Absolutely shocking decision. Strathcona cannot cope with a new school and added traffic and families at Islamia cannot cope with the journey. Who does this benefit? And why did the Council shut down a well loved and succesful school like Roe Green Strathcona to turn around and offer it to a school from a different area?
    I would also like to know if my neighbours apply for planning works for an extension I will receive a notification from the planning dept . I would like to know why living so close to this proposal why I have not been informed until a leaflet drop today ?
