The report proposed expanding Hill Park Special School by creating a 30-place satellite provision at the former Cedar Centre for autistic secondary-age children and young people with anxiety and mental health needs but no learning disability. The consultation showed strong support, and the Committee was asked to note the consultation outcome and authorise publication of statutory notices.
