PLANS have been submitted for a new 1 metre wide running track around the football pitch in St Mary’s Catholic Primary School.
Physical education as a key component of the school’s curriculum and the purpose of the proposal is to allow children to complete a set number of laps around the track to achieve a mile-long walk without having to leave the School premises.
A planning statement said: “The track will provide pupils with a level running surface, which unlike the existing grass surface, will not be prone to mud in damp weather conditions.”
A decision is expected to be made on the plans by Thursday, March 14.
