We have an excellent sixth form college at Symonds and an excellent primary school at St Bedes yet both seem to lack space. 

I have an idea. Now that the art school is part of Southampton University, it could move to Southampton and be integrated into that campus. 

That would release a lot of space to give to Symonds and St Bedes. Would it not be better to have a Symonds 2 but towards the south side of the city? 

We have to find innovative solutions for the future of our city. There might also then be space where the old police station was sited for a car park which could be approached via Easton Lane and therefore not need more traffic circling around the town.
