Governors of 400-year-old Haberdashers School in Monmouth fighting new restaurant just 100 metres away because it would ‘dissuade potential parents’
A historic £7,000-a-year private school is blocking a new McDonald’s – fearing parents will not send their children to be taught near the fast food giant.
Governors of the 400-year-old Haberdashers School are fighting the building of the new restaurant just 100 metres away because it would “dissuade potential parents”.
They are appealing against a proposed shopping centre in Monmouth, South Wales, near their Agincourt pre-prep school for three to seven-year-olds – whose families pay £2,265 per term.
