Chris White commented this morning about the expansion of school place provision in St Albans.

‘I am glad that county is now taking some action – but it is frankly too little too late. I began campaigning on this in 2006 and was told that HCC were not sure there was a problem.

‘Now they do admit there is a problem. But we still need a new 2 form entry primary school and the Tories are taking far too long to find a suitable site. Perhaps they should for once involve local councillors on the ground who know the situation. Some of us would point out that there is a suitable site – the one that Tesco has had its eye on for some time.’
