The Council is making a Compulsory Purchase of land besides Oldfield Park Juniors to provide a sports pitch for the School. 

 

Compulsory purchase is a last resort as the Council was unable to reach agreement with the landowners despite negotiations over a number of years.

 

The Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families confirmed with modifications on 21 July 2010 the Bath and North East Somerset Council (Oldfield Park Junior School – Provision of a School Playing Field) Compulsory Purchase Order 2010.

 

The order as confirmed provides for the purchase for the purposes of the provision of a playing field for the benefit of Oldfield Park Junior School on 0.4184 hectares of land at Lymore Terrace, Oldfield Park, Bath.
