The Tories walked straight into the Labour trap. Perhaps they hadn’t done their homework as well as Cllr Morris.
As Cllr’s Tunde Ojetola and Sue MacPherson extoled the virtues of Chafford Hundred School and Enterprise College, Chair of Thurrock Labour, Cllr Carl Morris produced an item of correspondence he had received from Chafford Hundred Head, Chris Tomlinson.
The letter conveyed the air of absolute desperation and anger that Mr Tomlinson had for the lack of assistance his school had received from the borough.
According the Cllr Morris the letter stated: “If we could leave the borough we would.”
The letter detailed the frustration Mr Tomlinson, Head of the most improved school in the country, had with the funding for his school. it also referred to the promises made to him by the Local Education Authority three years ago that have not been kept.
After the meeting, we spoke to Cllr Garry Hague on this issue. You can see his answer in the interview posted just below.
Do you really think that CHC would have recieved anything further from TBC if Labour were in charge, blimey just look at the state of the Education in the country under the Labour government, maybe Mr Tomlinson is showing his political badge of office in this letter.
I suppose Cllr Morris is back on the point scoring campaign, was this a corrspondence that was sent to Mr Morris and should this really have been distributed to the public????
Makes me smile,publicity shy Councillor Morris wastes no opportunity to score points,correct me if i am wrong but I thought he represented Grays Riverside Ward.Still that hasn’t stopped him in the past popping up in different places to feed his hunger for press coverage.Lambo is right if anybody thinks things would be different under a Labour regime then they must have short memories,I well remember their days in power with sky high Council Tax increases and reduced services.
