Special school options announced after protests

by Sophia

Two options for a new special school are to be investigated after protests over a council's decision not to replace the existing over-subscribed special school.

About 300 campaigners marched through Llanelli in September claiming Carmarthenshire council broke a promise to fund a new building for Ysgol Heol Goffa.

The council, which u-turned on plans to shut the school last year, said it was looking at either a 150-pupil school, or one with a capacity of 250.

Campaigners called the announcement "really positive".

A replacement school was first proposed several years ago at the former Draka copperworks site in Llanelli.

The council decided not to press ahead with it last year citing soaring project costs.
