Circuit of Wales racetrack

Hey msmudge, I feel your pain but if this track isn't built it would make not one jot of difference to your plight.  Different budgets.

No. I know it won't. But it's just not right when another school is getting £19m for a new building. I'm sure £19m off the £280m budget for the track won't make much of a difference to the facilities there.

Anyway rant over, as I don't want to hijack the thread.

Sorry to hear of your daughters education being disrupted-its tough all round at present and I know Wales has been hit really hard -hope they come up with a plan that doesn't affect her exam opportunities. Unfortunately politicians seem to exist in their own cocooned universe. Our only future hope(UK) as a whole depends on our children & grandchildren getting the best start in life.

if I am correct this is supposed to be all private investment/?

that area of wales is crying out for investment. Its the lives of thousands of families to be considered , not just 1 persons education. It might be easier to move to a new school, than for a whole community to get work and prospects .

I know ebbw vale, its like a area of devastation.... at least this type of project would be self sustaining , its not short term aid.

I've been there a few times and if anywhere needs investment it's there. I just hope it won't be a white elephant and die on it's feet in a few years. That could be the nail in the area's coffin.

well it,s all systems go with this :eek, we have even been asked to price work for it.

Spoke to someone in the know the other day up on the site.He informed me that they were due to start the preliminary groundwork back a few weeks ago but they have now found newts on the site.In the next few weeks they are going to surround the site ( all 880 arces)with a three foot plastic fence and hopefully with all the nets gone then can start in sept.Sooner the better as Blaenau gwent needs this development and the supporting industries and all the economic benefits they will bring.
