Have you ever thought that the reason so few on the petition are from Tunstall is because Tunstall is such a small place! The kind of place that does not need a huge community school. The people from outside Tunstall are more than happy to voice their opinion for the new school and those very few who are in favor in the village welcome their comments. Why is it so different if people from outside Tunstall voice opposition? They apparently have unjustified opinion? It is right people should not be denied a good education because of their postcode. So why be selfish and deny the areas that have expanded on the other side of Sittingbourne the opportunity to have funding for a new,good school that they could walk their children to. Why put this important funding into an area that already has numerous good vilage schools that are more than adequate to serve the locals and all those that still attend Tunstall church (after they have got their children through the admissions system)

We are all allowed a say on this matter and if you can, for or against you should use the right to say something. Tunstall is a small community and yes most people will be against the building of such a large developement in open countryside and on a small popular cut through road that will be forever blocked up. Why cant the local people be against such a plan, like others they have gone through hard times and have strived all their working lives to live in a semi rural environment why should this ridiculous plan be dumped upon them. The planners and KCC seem to have forgotten that when building large sprawling estates this is when schools should be built within the confines of the new housing, so that people do not have to travel. Tunstall school could easily have funds spent upon it to bring it up to spec rather than the millions required here. Whether it be a C of E , Catholic, Jewish or Muslim school we would still oppose it. Leave our Village alone!!!!
