Personally I doubt that any architectural debate is likely to hold things up any more than they are already.

Whatever is to happen with the existing building cannot happen until the existing health services have moved out and according to the Charter that won't be "until 2019 at the earliest."


I have no problem with heritage architecture. I just don't think its appropriate here and I really don't like the way that all of the so-called conceptual plans only include options for retaining the "chateau" and no alternatives were put forward.

On a different tack, the land given over to the medical centre seems small by comparison. Given recent reports there are between 1200 and 1700 heads per local GP, one wonders if enough thought has been given to this aspect? Our population is growing, hence the need for more schools but that also creates a demand for medical facilities.

Newton, I'm really sympathetic to people who experience lots of parking pressure/traffic on their road (I do too) but if this school is for local children, won't most of them walk? And if not won't they be old enough to travel on public transport without a parent? This is a genuine question - it would be interesting to know stats of how pupils of the current Charter get to school.

    • An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
    • Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
