PLANS to provide a new school for autistic children in Tendring could be set to move forward.

Donna Moore, of Dovercourt, wants to provide parents across Tendring with a greater choice of education for children on the autistic spectrum.

Her own son, Stephen, 13, has the condition. Mrs Moore, 41, has been working with the National Autistic Society, which could sponsor the project.

The meeting will be held on February 27 at The Royal PH in Main Road, Dovercourt from 7pm to 9pm.

Anyone interested in attending the meeting should email their name and contact number to tendringpensinsulaschool@gmail.com or call 07703285335.
