A decision on planning permission for the new £3m Ashford Carbonell Primary School could be delayed.
Shropshire councillors were expecting to discuss the school at a planning committee meeting in Ludlow next Tuesday.
But Councillor Peter Phillips has now joined his LibDem colleague Cllr Richard Huffer asking that the discussion of the application be deferred for at least a month.
In an email to Shropshire Council chief executive, Kim Ryley, Cllr Phillips said there were “ irregularities” concerning the new school adding that some Ashford residents were prepared to take the matter to the Local Government Ombudsman.
His email goes on: “When the amalgamations were discussed the opinion in Caynham was in favour of a new school and that in Ashford hostile.
“It is utterly perverse therefore to build the school in the village where the opinion was not in favour and to ignore that where it was. I understand Ashford Bowdler has one child of primary school age only,” he adds.
“An investment of £3.9m in this village, unwanted by I understand a majority opinion, is again perverse. These points clearly have been overlooked by officers developing the current scheme and this must be a matter of concern irrespective of planning issues.”
At the time of going to press Shropshire Council was only able to confirm receipt of the email.
