Wahay :o)

There has been many discussions about a bypass up here for quite a while now...One of the routes being considered was to go right through camphill...Camphill is a rudolph steiner special needs school/community...There are a lot of children with quite complex difficulties who are both boarders and day pupils...They also have a lot of adults with special needs who live on one of the estates...There has been a save camphill campaign going on for at least a year now...It's been all over the scottish news and was backed by some tv personalities...Today the scottish exec transport minister announced which route the aberdeen bypass will take...HURRAH!!!! they have chosen a route that does not go right through the middle of camphill :o) ...I have friends whose children go to this school even though technically it is private...Local authority pay for them to go there :o) ...I think this is a good decision on the scottish execs part...However residents for the extremely upmarket area it will go through are not impressed...Sorry these things do have to go somewhere and surely it is far better that it isn't going to split a special needs community in two is it not??? Call me a cynic but most in this posh bit of the city just won't want their house prices being lowered to below a million quid...Am i unfeeling and uncaring about them yes i am because i care more about the special needs community...I don't know but in the future it may be somewhere that M needs when he is an adult...Anyways am happy even though it is going to public enquiry or something now <sigh>  Added link below for people to look at it...There are various communities on there but it's the aberdeen ones to look at :o)
