SIR — I write in support of recent letters on where to spend the planning gain from the new Hinkley Point build.
When Hinkley B station was built, the number of children at Stogursey Village School increased from around 70 to up to 200 children.
There were huts everywhere, every room had a class, two classes in the school hall, and the village hall was utilised.
The teachers performed wonders, but it was no way to give the children a good education.
Staff and governors are determined not to allow such a situation to happen during the construction of Hinkley`s C and D power stations.
We have put forward a plan for school improvements, some of which are the replacement of the remaining huts, which are in a poor state. Improvements are also tailored to provide for the wider community.
We welcome any new children who arrive with the new build but we want to offer them the high standard of education for which we continually strive.
The finance for the scheme is not possible from normal providers.
Our parish will suffer more disruption than anywhere else, and our school needs help as a result of this.
It is the responsibility of those people who control the finance to deal first with those who suffer the disruption.
Peter Farmery,
Chairman of Governors,
Stogursey Village School.
