MEMBERS of the public have been asked to have their say on plans to expand an Ilminster school.
The plans to move and expand Greenfylde First School have been announced by Somerset County Council in order to meet the expected demand for school places in the area.
At the moment the school is located on Silver Street and can accommodate 380 children.
The proposals would see the school move to land near Canal Way. The current 12 classes would increase to 15 classes, which would allow 450 children to attend the school.
Around 600 new homes for the area are currently in the planning stages. The new homes are expected to attract new families, and ultimately more children, to the area.
A drop-in session is being held at the school on March 8 between 3pm and 6.30pm.
