A COMMUNITY organisation on Portland will take further steps to save a former school site.
The Portland Community Partnership (PCP) is set to register a community right to bid for the site previously occupied by Underhill Junior School.
Following a positive consultation, the PCP says it has now formally lodged confirmation of its intention to submit a bid to Weymouth and Portland Borough Council.
Senior figures at the PCP say those who took part in the consultation suggested a mixed approach to the site would be ‘most appropriate’.
The PCP say they will publicly consult on the formation of a Community Land Trust to support the development and then on any proposals that are eventually put to Dorset County Council.
