* In course of erection.
Certain changes have occurred in the composition of the population and in the distribution of
the children in the schools which makes it desirable to contemplate certain new arrangements in
connection with the feeding of school children. The development of the Curzon Crescent Estate has
overcrowded the Gibbons Road Feeding Centre and the 225 children who are fed daily at Gibbons Road
Feeding Centre come from the following schools in the numbers shown:—
Gibbons Road 73
Bridge Road 76
Leopold Road 43
Oldfield Road Jr. M.32
224
The Curzon Crescent Estate is not yet fully occupied, something like 120 families still having
to be transferred there and it is likely that not less than 80 additional children from this area will
require to be fed. It would therefore appear desirable to establish a Feeding Centre near the Curzon
Crescent area to deal with the children from the following schools:—
Leopold Road 43
Oldfield Road Jr. M. 32
Oldfield Road Infants 50
Estimated additional number when Curzon
Crescent is fully occupied 80
205
This means that a new Feeding Centre with a seating capacity of about 200 is required in this area.
The rearrangement of the schools has resulted in the senior children from the Lower Place
area attending Wesley Road School, the consequence being that two 'buses are required at mid-day
each doing two journeys to convey these children back to the Lower Place Feeding Centre for their
meals. This Centre is worn out and is too small for its purpose. It is desirable to abolish this Centre
and to establish a new Centre with a seating capacity of about 200 in the Stonebridge area near the
Wesley Road or Stonebridge Schools. This would mean, however, that the infant children attending
Lower Place School would require to be conveyed by 'bus but one 'bus would suffice to carry them.
