Sandwell LEA have been brought to task on their primary school programme
Only 3 to 5 years ago the LEA was saying that following the Labour government’s orders they had to demolish a number of primary schools with under capacity.
Apparently now the birth rate is increasing and Sandwell is now short of over 300 primary places, due to over capacity.
One guess to were they are now short on kids school places,
You’ve guessed it in exactly the areas that they demolished the original primary schools
It’s now been revealed that Sandwell LEA removed almost 2000 primary school places
In the last 5 years and 1000’s more in secondary school places.
Sandwell Tory said
This is a typical example of bad planning and waste; some think it’s easy to put problems right using Tax payers’ money, each new classroom built is some ones
job lost.
A council spokesman said
What we did then was a result of Government (Labour) policy
Tell that to the mothers who have to travel big distances to get their kids into school.
