Minutes:
Councillor Alex Sanderson introduced the report, which was part of the Community Schools Programme, requesting funds for the refurbishment of Mund Street so that it could be used for pupils decanted from Avonmore Primary School.
Councillor Sanderson expressed her deep concern for the thousands of children around the country unsure whether they would have a school to go to over the next few weeks, due to the lack of investment from the Government in school buildings. She was proud that Hammersmith & Fulham Council was investing in schools as part of the Community Schools programme.
The Leader added that cancelling the Building Schools for the Future Programme initiated this problem.
Councillor Sanderson added that her report entitled Youth Justice Plan would be going shortly to Full Council.
