DESIGNS for the new Marriotts and Lonsdale schools in Stevenage will go on display next week.

Herts County Council is asking people to comment on proposals for the two schools, which will be co-located on the existing Marriotts school site.

A public exhibition will be held at Marriotts, on Telford Avenue, between 4pm and 9pm on September 14 and 15.

Representatives from the schools, the construction partners, and Herts County Council (HCC) will be available to answer questions.

Richard Thake, HCC’s executive member for education and skills, said: “We want as many people as possible to come along and give us their views on this exciting project.”

A detailed planning application will be submitted for approval shortly.

The proposals included within the application will be held at County Hall, Hertford, and are available online at https://www.hertsdirect.org/ePlanningOPS/index.jsp - Click on ‘search for application details and decisions’.

Formal comments on the planning application should be sent to Hertfordshire County Development Unit, Herts County Council, County Hall, Pegs Lane, Hertford, SG13 8DF.
