PARENTS have been left mud-dled by a new multimillion pound Chaddesley Corbett school that has been built without access for people on foot.

The only route for pupils and parents walking to the building next to Rowberry’s Nurseries is along a muddy footpath, said Susan Parry, who takes her grandson Corey Halpin, 6, to the school.

She said it was “impossible” for people to push prams up and down the muddy path which, she claimed, was a “no-go area”, as it was too slippery.

The £4 million Chaddesley Corbett Primary School is set to open for pupils next Monday but many parents have been left scratching their heads about how they are going to make the journey.

Conservative Stephen Clee, Worcestershire County councillor for the area, said he was looking into a short-term solution.

Mrs Parry, who has to take her 11-month-old granddaughter Lacie Halpin with her on the school run, said: “I’m going to have great difficulty in getting my grandson to and from school, “There's no access to the school for people who walk. How are we going to go to and from school?

It’s impossible.

“There’s quite a few of us on foot in the village so it’s a problem.

I’m panicking because I don’t know how I’m going to do it. I’m getting distressed over it. What am I going to do?”

The school has been built with larger classrooms, hall and forest school areas, as well as dedicated music, food technology and science facilities.

Mrs Parry added: “We’re so desperate for a new school but how could they have been allowed to build it where there’s no access?

It’s just a nightmare.”

Mr Clee said: “We fully appreciate the concerns of parents about the current condition of the path that leads to the school and I have been working with officers in our countryside service, the parish council and the landowner to provide a shortterm improvement to the path that will help parents and children get to and from the new school safely when it opens.”
