WITH housing developments growing around Kingsteignton, the pressure is piling on school places, Chudleigh Town Council heard on Monday.

Chairman Cllr Richard Keeling, warned that Teign School, Kingsteignton, which is in the Chudleigh catchment area, was already at bursting point.

'Our worry is that with extensive housing development around Kingsteignton it will push our children out of Teign School.

'The concern for Chudleigh, where there are also new developments, is what plans are being made for additional capacity at the school,' said Cllr Keeling.

Chudleigh's Devon County Councillor Jerry Brook said that Cllr Christine Channon, DCC's education portfolio holder, was happy to meet the council to discuss Teign School with regards to numbers and capacity for the catchment area in the future.
