Brent School Expansion

Next Monday's Executive has a hefty report on expanding Brent's school places.  The most pressing issue is primary school places, where we have shortages across the Borough.  However, there is a rapidly looming problem of secondary school places.  Not only do we not have funding for secondary places at the moment (following Sarah Teather abolishing Building Schools for the Future), we also don't have a clear site to build on.  I well recall some of the desperate suggestions made for sites when the Liberal Democrats were trying to delay or block the ARK Academy.  Thank goodness that school eventually got built.  Otherwise we would be short by an additional 1700 places.
