Lib Dems do a U-turn on schools review

The plans to close Grove Park school have been temporarily shelved following a U-Turn by Lib Dem Education chief, Anne Milton.

Cllr Milton has admitted that the proposal to close Grove Park school was a pannicked response to opposition to her earlier proposal to close Woolston school.

The Council is going consult again and get views on the future of the most controversial schools, namely Regents Park/Bellemoor, Millbrook School/Oaklands School and Woolston/Grove Park.

A decision on the future of these schools will not be made until December.

The Conservatives have condemned the review of secondary education in the City as a total shambles.
