the children I have been reading, with great interest, all the comments regarding Scot Lane End closure. As a parent of children at the school due to merge with Scot Lane, I am very concerned for my children's prospects. In my son's year alone, we have 25 pupils and Scot Lane has 20 pupils - what happened to Labour's 30 infants at the most in one class?

Please, please, I am asking all committee members to consider our children's future and not just how much money they can save.

Thank you for your support BEN.
