Our local MP Mr Dominic Raab says NO to Chippings Farm Development; he stated:

We sorely need extra secondary school places in Elmbridge and particularly in Cobham. I would love to see a free school built following the innovative example of the primary free school in Cobham. But it makes no sense locally to build a new school coupled with a housing development on the greenbelt, where all or most of the new places would be inundated by new demand from the extra development. On the one hand the Education Funding Authority (EFA) say they conduct estimates of the extra school places required for any such development. Yet, when I've asked the EFA for these estimates they have not been forthcoming. It just doesn't look like the EFA have done their basic homework.
