Public given chance to have say on proposed lease of open space at Northampton primary school

West Northamptonshire Council has announced plans to lease part of the open space at Hunsbury Park Primary School to Orbis Education Trust – and residents are being invited to have their say.

The land, located at the school in Dayrell Road, Northampton, is marked in green on a council plan and could be leased under Section 123 of the Local Government Act 1972.

Under the proposal, the council would dispose of the land by way of a lease to the trust, which runs the primary school. The site is currently classified as open space.

Residents who wish to object must do so in writing to the council’s Director of Governance. Objections should be sent to West Northamptonshire Council, One Angel Square, 4 Angel Street, Northampton, NN1 1ED, quoting reference WNC DLE32900.
