CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a new special school in Liverpool are set to get the green light.



Education officials want to relocate Lower Lee special school from Beaconsfield Road, Woolton, to the site of the former Harold Magnay special school in Woolton Hill Road.

Almost 50 boys with behavioural and emotional difficulties would be based at the site, next to St Francis Xavier’s college.

But more than 100 residents have objected to the plan, fearing an increase in problems such as crime and traffic and a potential fall in house prices. more
