Instead, the Langwarrin Community Centre has been chosen as the kindergarten’s new home. Frankston councillors secretly voted to nominate Long Street Reserve as their preferred site for a new kindergarten in a behind-closed-doors meeting late last year. The unanimous vote was made public soon after, and backlash began. A petition with more than 1700 signatures was handed to Frankston Council opposing the plans. It read “Long Street Reserve…
