Your Lib Dem councillors for Fletton & Stanground are delighted to see plans approved for a new SEND unit at Southfields Primary School 👏

This will create a dedicated space for up to 38 children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, helping ensure more young people can access the support they need within their local community 🏫✨

This is an important step forward in making sure every child has access to the right education and opportunities, inclusive of their individual needs.

A specialist unit for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is to be created at Southfields Primary School.

Council cabinet members have authorised the refurbishment of underutilised space at the school in Stanground to create a dedicated SEND Unit for 38 children.

The move is part of our commitment to ensuring every child and young person can access quality education in their local community, regardless of their individual needs.

🚨 Anti-social behaviour in our area 🚨

Your Lib Dem councillors for Fletton & Stanground are aware of ongoing anti-social behaviour in parts of the ward.

We know that children sometimes play games like knock door run after school. While this might seem harmless to some, we are also aware of groups of older teenagers repeatedly targeting properties and causing damage. This has left some residents feeling frightened and anxious in their own homes.

That is simply not acceptable.

We are requesting increased patrols and raising concerns with the relevant authorities. Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live 🧡

If you have children who are out playing in groups after school, please do have a conversation with them about being respectful of neighbours and the impact their actions can have.

💬 If you have been affected or have information that may help, please message us directly.

Let’s work together to keep Fletton & Stanground safe, friendly and welcoming for everyone 🧡
