West Hatch School Admissions Scandal- Local Lib Dems Launch Petition

This year 600 applicants applied for 180 places at west Hatch High. Unless an applicant had a brother or sister at the school, the 180 places will have been allocated to those pupils from Redbridge and Chigwell who live closest to the school's front door. Every other applicant has had to run the same gauntlet for Roding Valley and Debden Park schools and are sometimes allocated to Epping or Waltham Abbey. This includes pupils from north Chigwell, Grange Hill, Limes Farm and Buckhurst Hill.

School crossing warden

Lib Dem MP asks Gordon Brown to call for a review of the way in which means testing hits school crossing wardens.

Across the Country children are at risk crossing the road because of Gordon Brown's means testing according to Birmingham Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming. "I have problems in my constituency", he said "where we cannot fill vacancies for crossing wardens because the wardens lose too much of their means tested benefits if they earn £40 per week. Wardens can end up with only £5 in their pocket."
