Council: Stop School Closure Consultation
18 June 2009

Contents

Votes in Favour

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.
