This very popular group is once again looking for a new home. It has been very pleased to be in the Deaf Academy building after struggling for many years in Roberts Road church hall. However, the Deaf Academy will be moving to a new site at Ringswell Avenue and the use of its present site is as yet unknown.

Jill is seeking assurance from the county council that the Preschool can be incorporated in any new build at St Leonards Primary School. This would be the ideal solution, but the uncertainty lies in the extra funding this would require.

Henry says, “The future of the Preschool is very important for the parents of St Leonard’s. The parents and their children deserve clarification on this issue and assurances that a venue nearby can be found as soon as possible.”

Jill says: “It is vital that we find a permanent home for the Preschool which is an invaluable resource for the local community. I will be making sure this is not forgotten by Devon County Council.”
