Liberal Democrat councillors in the Muswell Hill area have expressed their extreme disappointment at Haringey Council’s negative response to parents left without school places in the area this year following a meeting with parents.

Lib Dem councillor Lynne Featherstone comments:

“This is a blow to local parents, and they have been in the unenviable position of having had their hopes raised to no avail. I’m very tempted to believe that Haringey set up the working group just to push the issue into the long grass, past the Council’s Annual General Meeting, where parents could have pursued the issue.”
