Save the former Carclaze Infant School building from demolition!

Save this handsome building, do something for community not property developers

Schools, G P 's and Hospital already straining to cope, they do not need more demands on their services. Are those houses for "local people" I wonder?

Yet another attempt to wipe away St Austell's history and destroy it's identity. More properties can be squeezed on with demolition over conversion. Yet another case of greed over the wants of the locals. The local cadet forces have poor facilities - this would be great for them, or conversion into flats.

Lovely building deserves to be saved. How come this is not listed but a useless building like John Keay House is?

Outrageous plan to destruct another beautiful historic building in favour of cheap housing. Short sited option we will have so few worthy buildings left. Keep it for the community!

Once it's gone it's gone! What a waste of a beautiful building!

Beautiful building left to go to rack and ruin until it suits the powers that be to sell it off for something they probably had planned years ago. St. Austell has lost it's Public Rooms it's YMCA and all the other buildings that used to belong to the community this building could be used in this context for many societies and groups and the school is far to small for the catchment area so a pre-school and infants school could be a viable option. Also the parking is poor for such a populated area so the top playground could be put to good use in that respect especially now that so many people bring their works vans home and park them on the road thus slowing the flow of traffic down on an already congested road.

This is part of local history and not to be destroyed!!

Happy memories of my old school

A piece of history at risk

I hope I am not too late in adding my signature. It is unthinkable to demolish this historical building. It has so much potential to be re-utilised by the community: social hall for yoga, exercise classes, adult education and a myriad of other activities. Perhaps a permanent space for an gallery/cafe that could generate enough income for it's upkeep. Would Cornwall Buildings Preservation Trust perhaps be willing to take this on?

A l Rowse...This was the land of my content.

Happy childhood memories here. The place deserves to be preserved.

I know Cornwall is strapped for cash, but trashing this asset for minimal short-term bucks but permanent loss of heritage and the local built environment is simply not something that any steward of Cornwall's history would want on their conscience. A deeper understanding and longer-term vision is needed here.

This was my school. Anyway how can a building from that century be allowed to be demolished surely its listed if not why not? Most buildings like this in cornwall are! Let someone buy it for community gain ie eatery/cafe.

Please go up to Treverbyn old school at Stenalees it as been converted into 3/4 homes within the original structure,it looks beautiful all in keeping and the School is STILL there. Please Save our Cornwall.

apart from the important al rowse connection I understand that this building also was designed by silvanus Trevail. After the Foster Hall Bodmin debacle this building needs to be saved as an important Heritage site - not only 'saved' but also 'modernised' in a very sympathetic way. It would be madeness to destroy this building.

this lovely old building has been a landmark ever since i can remember and as you say bulldozers should leave it alone!!!!!make good use of it for us locals!!!!

Not only an iconic building but also the school where ALRowse, historian, poet and iconic Cornishman received his early education.

What a shame that Cornwall Council is thinking about destroying such an important part of our county's architectural heritage. The building would be well suited as a social hall or as residential flats. I urge Cornwall Councillors to think again!
