Residents of Lake Road and the surrounding areas were not notified of the Medani Academy moving into the vacant property in Nutfield Place Portsmouth. No objection Letters were posted through surrounding areas nor were there objection posters posted on nearby Lighting Posts which I believe is Law to promote what is being built. You do not have to sign this purely on racism as that will not be tolerated but the fact that this has all been hidden and the fact that we will not agree to segregation of such which in a way could create hatred and racism. The extra Traffic that will be travelling past the Elderly Residential home,The Traffic past the Doctors Surgery,The cost of security and policing such a area if such atrocities as the Brutal Murder of Soldier Lee Rigby were to happen again. Integration is what makes this country what it is. Do not allow segregation and promote hatred and racism. Please sign in a challenge to the council as to why this has remained under the Radar. Thank You

We have reached the two hundred and fifty signature threshold. My next step is to finalize the formal letter to the planning department regarding the lack of public notification. I am currently coordinating a meeting with a local planning consultant to review our legal standing.

The petition has reached 100 signatures. I am now formalizing a letter to the Portsmouth City Council to demand transparency regarding the lack of public notification for this site change.

We are approaching one hundred signatures and this threshold is necessary for triggering a formal review by the council planning department. I am finalizing a letter to the planning officer to request a full disclosure of the notification process for Merefield House.

They totally bypassed the rules on notifying residents. Needs to be shut down until they do it right.

We need transparency. Why keep it a secret if they have nothing to hide?? Very suspicious.

THIS IS NOT OKAY. My mum lives in that home and it is dangerous enough already without hundreds of extra cars.

Totally unfair to just sneak this in behind our backs. The roads cant take any more cars.

Ridiculous that no one in the area was told about this. Pretty sure the council is supposed to inform us about building changes.

The traffic down lake road is already a nightmare. How did they think nobody would notice this?
