A school has converted space previously used as a disabled charity centre into a place to teach special needs children.

Cllr Tony Virgo (Conservative, Winkfield & Warfield East) expressed concern about the impact of school use would have on the main Hurst Lodge building, which is protected as it previously served as the house of the superintendent of Broadmoor Hospital.
Ms Fryer's report stated that the building would not be changed, but ramps will be added to the portacabin opposite the main building.A portacabin, previously used by an outreach charity for disabled people, has been repurposed for Cllr Virgo also expressed worry about the loss of a lamppost that forms part of a traffic island that will be removed to facilitate parking.
Ms Fryer replied that the future of the lamppost would be clarified in follow-up discussions with the school.
