Dear Sir/Madam,

I was informed of the plans to build a Gas/Petrol Station adjacent to the  Good Shepherd School near Noosa. I must say I was horrified to note that such a planning application was even submitted  considering the close proximity of this school to this proposed  Gas/petrol station which will presumably have underground tanksf or storage of petrol  and where toxic fumes emanating  from such a business will very obviously AFFECT such young children all day as they study and PLAY outside too.

The local Councils  must  be  AWARE of these implications which will AFFECT our little GRANDCHILDREN who attend this School. Furthermore,. they All suffer from ASTHMA and bronchial troubles and the youngest(5 yrs) was recently hospitalised recently due to this ailment..

I am amazed that this school which we have visited   seems to have put economical considerations before the welfare of its pupils and do not seem to be aware of all the health  HAZARDS such an enterprise will produce and  their pupils will have to endure.  I can only hope that the local Councillors are as aware as some of us are and are pleading for the health sake of our grand children and indeed the staff of Good Shepherd School.

I  once worked for my local South Oxfordshire District Council and was aware of planning applications put forward for the  consideration of its Planning Committees while working for its Dispatch Dept. since it was I who had to send all Minutes and Agendas to these Committees in all its different areas. . I was thus able  to note our Councillors objections to various applications and on what grounds they were, either on Health & Safety,hazards for entry of vehicles, road traffic  etc etc. I noted  WHY  they came to such conclusions and were thus able to REFUSE permissions.

I sincerely hope the local Councils examining  this application will be equally as concerned about all adverse effects and the very valid objections of parents, grandparents etc on grounds of the Health & Safety of  their children.
Sincerely
Anne & Peter Williams (grandparents of pupils at Good.Shepherd  School)

Who also wish you all a very Happy X'mas & New Year
