The first education committee went off pretty much as expected today... though the schools reorganisation programme should now be renamed 'How To Make A Hash Of It.' Today we had the astonishing admission that for some community centres & nurseries in the first round, their promised public consultation would be heard after they'd made their case to the committee: effectively, the committee would have decided their fate before they'd been consulted. You really couldn't make this up.
In fairness to the convenor, as soon as she understood the size of the cock up she backtracked and agreed to change the process but the expression all her colleagues wore told its own story...glum, dejected...wondering how they got into this hell. Not a promising start for the new director or the new convenor.
Oh...and one more thing...at last we wrung an admission out from the Coalition that Labour had no hit list of schools...a glimpse of truth in what so far, has been a defensive, shrill attack by Marilyne.
Elsewhere, a good public meeting last night about the Access Road in West Pilton with unanimity among elected representatives, the community and the land developers that the road should be kept permanently open...now let's see if 4 councillors are better than 1 in persuading city transport & TIE to change their mind.
5 days and counting then I'm away for my summer holiday...yippee!

The honest staff at PEP think you have made a hash of a lot of things. Are you going to answer the letter that was in NEN and the second report that is circulating in the community.
