AT New Year the Liberal Democrat administration in Pendle hailed their deal with Lancashire County Council regarding the Marsden Heights Community College as brilliant' - a win win' situation for the community.
By Easter we hear of their concerns over a bog standard' building plan and dissatisfaction with the future use of the Mansfield site, when the new school is operational.
Surely they anticipated these problems?
Three Pendle committees voiced unanimous opposition to the proposals, and recently 268 residents signed letters opposing Pendle Council's disposal of Brierfield's public playing fields at Bent Head (the only significant green space in the town).
Brierfield Environmental Campaign has been set up to oppose the desecration of our public space and urges the county council to reconsider its viable fallback plan and build the new school on land it currently owns.
Perhaps by listening to the electorate which placed these people in office, we may have avoided this deadlock?
