Many children face uncertain futures with no reasonable expectations of stablility in their education or housing provision, and therefore this has a direct result on school places. Even when they have secured a place at school of choice, they are at the mercy of temporary housing provision who move them on a whim. We need a major overhaul of the system of allocation, and school provision within the borough. It is unbelievable that the No. 18 Bus is full of primary aged children who live in a local ward who cannot get places and are travelling + 3 miles to get their children into a school. It makes no sense whatsover.

The residents analysed the Councils predictions when the expansion was first put forward and we constantly said the places would not be needed. Planning over-ruled us and now we learn the expansion is surplus to requirements. It is beyond belief that this expansion, costing a fortune,disrupting a community, causing traffic chaos and greatly increasing the levels of pollution and thus affecting the health of the children and adults, is going forward.
