Council: Stop School Closure Consultation

18 June 2009

Motion

Councillor Esterson submitted the following:

The Conservative Cabinet's proposals to close five schools in Medway ignores the Council's own figures which project a shortfall of places rather than a surplus by 2013. Council therefore calls on the Conservative Cabinet to stop the consultation and produce a primary capital programme which is based on accurate, up to date information.

On being put to the vote, the motion was lost.
