PLANS have been unveiled for a new 210-place school as well as a nursery on a former hospital site near a new housing estate. If agreed, Essex County Council’s new St Luke’s School would be built on the former Runwell Hospital site in St Luke’s Way. County Hall is planning the primary school and 56-place nursery for families in the new 575-home St Luke’s Park development.
