Do you care about Trinity’s heritage?

Victoria Primary School is to be replaced by a new school on Western
Harbour in 2020. The existing building will then be for sale. This means
there is an exciting opportunity for the community to acquire the
building, but this can ONLY happen IF we can show that there is:

(i) strong support from the community
(ii) a robust plan to meet the criteria for community asset transfer and
that of the potential funders (e.g.Community Land Fund)

So come along and tell us:

  • what you think about the idea of community ownership.
  • what the area needs, that the building could provide.
  • how you might be able to help.

If you believe it can usefully serve the community then here’s the
chance to help make that happen. Because, quite simply, it will not
happen UNLESS there is demonstrable community support.

So please come along to Victoria Primary School at 7pm on Thursday 4th October to discuss:

‘SHOULD a NEW COMMUNITY GROUP BE SET UP to ACQUIRE and DEVELOP VICTORIA  PRIMARY SCHOOL for the COMMUNITY?’
