Last night I sat in the Town Hall and listened to what could only be described as a farce.

Sadly there were no winners, least of all the Conservatives who have supported us all through our fight to save Stockton Heath Primary School. They deserted us at the time we needed them most. As for the Lib Dems, words fail me. With overwhelming support of the people of Stockton Heath to see the school refurbished, we have never received any support from our councillors.

Thankfully, Walton Parish Council, which is non-political, stepped into the breach and stood with us side by side as we fought the battle to save the school.

The council report stated that the new build option is favoured by the majority of parents of pupils at the school. In fact only 43 parents bothered to vote for a new school and of those 43 only 17 actually live in Stockton Heath.
