Consultation? Not with the Tories

Putting aside laughably exaggerated and (initially on their website and in the printed edition) inaccurate "reporting" by the Newbury Weekly News, this week's story about Trinity School reveals quite a lot about the Conservative controlled West Berkshire Council.

Consultation? Forget it. They've just announced a "super head" and are about to axe the governing body without any warning or even a whiff of consultation.

These decisions were announced to an emergency meeting of school's governing body which was called at four days notice, with no agenda and no disclosure before the meeting of its subject.

And if the governing body don't like being axed, the Conservative Executive member for Children and Young People, Cllr Barbara Alexander says:

We can do what we like anyhow. It will go through but it might be slightly rocky ride.

Excellent. She's obviously been taking management tips from Vlad the Impaler.
