Approx 200, 5 - 12 year old children walk past this address everyday going to and from school. Patients are not restrained and are unsupervised when outside of the property. they are free to leave the property if they wish and wander around the streets. Children will be too scared to walk past knowing it is a mental health facility.
I am not against mental health patients being integrated back into society. I am against putting the facility next door to a Primary School and opposite a Pre School and risking the safety of those children. THE RISK IS TOO HIGH !!!!!!!

However I believe the people responsible for choosing the location have got it completely wrong in finding this location when it is so close to a school.
