John Baron opens new community room at Sunnymede Junior School

Conservative candidate praises school and community for hard work


John Baron, the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Basildon & Billericay, today officially opened the new community room at Sunnymede Junior School, in the presence of staff, parents and other local residents.

The room has been converted from an unused classroom into a space that the whole community can use, with the assistance of a Local Development Grant and an Awards 4 All grant. Much of the funding was obtained by Heather Stuart of the Billericay Community Trust, enabling the installing of disabled access and a disabled toilet. The remainder of the costs were met by the school.

John said:

“Congratulations to all involved – this is a great project showing what can be achieved by teamwork. Especial thanks to Heather Stuart for raising the bulk of the money, and to the school for raising the balance.

“I am impressed by the facilities on offer in this new community room, which has already been put to good use by various local groups. This room will help remind everyone that schools should be at the heart of our communities.”
