A PUBLIC meeting on controversial plans to build a new secondary school in Times Territory is being held tonight (Thursday).

The Save Woolmer Green group will be presenting their case against plans by the We Need A School campaign to build a new secondary school somewhere in Knebworth, Woolmer Green, or the surrounding area.

A petition against the proposals has now collected more than 1,400 signatures, according to save Woolmer Green spokesman Gareth Lloyd.

The meeting will be held at Woolmer Green village hall, at 7.30pm
