Andrew Turner MP PRESS RELEASE - 080317 Minister advice is to complain!
‘The whole consultation and peoples responses to it has been based on a falsehood put forward by leading councillors and education officers and should now be shelved for good. The only way that this can be settled is to go to a referendum and for David Pugh Alan Wells and Steve Beynon to be to be replaced. What they have done is disgraceful and cannot be tolerated.In an interview for Isle of Wight Radio News Cllr Pugh said that the council would not lose the £8.3m of PCP funding that they had previously said that they would if they did not immediately address the 10% overall and 25% individual school surplus place target.’
