LYMM’S Oughtrington Primary School is to be expanded at a cost of £1.5 million to enable it to accommodate an extra 105 pupils.
Borough council chiefs have approved the procedures to enable the work to be carried out following consultation with 
parents and the local community.
Coun Sheila Woodyatt, (pictured) the borough’s executive member for Children’s Services, said: This will make a tremendous difference to the education of the children of Lymm.
“In Lymm, we have had 1,900 new homes built in the last three or four years. Now we are going to give the school a 21st century learning environment. It will give us an outstanding school.”
Coun Woodyatt said the response of local people during the consultation process had been “very positive.” Sixty one people had supported the scheme and only seven had disagreed.
There had been a few issues over traffic, but the number of children walking to school at Oughtrington was higher than at any other school in the borough.
Coun Woodyatt said Oughtrington Primary was already an excellent school. But it did have structural problems – such as pupils having to go through the hall to get anywhere else in the school.
