The council has officially scrapped the proposal to close Llanigon School before the new facility in Hay-on-Wye is ready. Your collective resolve ensured that our children will not be subjected to unnecessary disruption. We have secured the stability the school community deserves.

We launch this petition in opposition to Powys County Councils proposals to close Llanigon School in July 2013, BEFORE a new school is built in Hay-on-Wye. Powys County Council maintained they would not close Llanigon school UNTIL a new school is build in Hay-on-Wye and never move a child twice, they are now going back on their word and are dealing with this situatuon in a very underhand way. The school has now moved to the formal consultation with a meeting for parents and the communty and we oppose their decision and ask that they reconsider their proposal and allow Llanigon school to remain open until the children have a new school to go to.

Ridiculous to shut it down now. My kids are settled and happy here. LEAVE LLANIGON ALONE!

These are young children just let them finish where they are before uprooting them to some temporary place. Common sense please.

Very underhand way of doing things. Disappointed in the council for lying to us.

Keep the school open. You promised not to move the kids twice and you should keep your word.

Llanigon is a brilliant school. Shame on Powys council for ignoring the community.
