On the 29th September 2005 I took the opportunity to ask the Council about the School Re-organisation plan consultation in Cardiff North. The question I put to Cllr. Kelloway was:
In light of the Administration's delay in bringing forward proposals on school re-organisation, will you apologise to parents in Cardiff North to whom you refused a request for an extension to the consultation deadline despite the fact that they had only two days after the consultation meeting in Cardiff North?
Cllr. Kelloway responded with:
It is important to get the facts straight here. The consultation period on this particluar phase of the process ran from 9 May to 16 June 2005, so the implication that parents had only two days to comment following the public meeting at Whitchurch School on 14 June is misleading.
The background papers were fully available from the beginning of the consultation period. Moreover, at the Whitchurch meeting, I gave an undertaking to factor in any comments received after the deadline; but before the circulation of papers for business cycle leading to the Executive Business Meeting on 13 July when this issue was discussed. This was done.
The Administration has not delayed bringing forward proposals. Following the consultation carried out to which the Councillor refers, the Executive speedily accepted a report on the work of the Informal Advisory Group and of the results of the consultation. Amongst the recommendations that the Executive accepted was that it would ask officers to prepare an implementation plan which would be brought forward in the Autumn.
Without defining precisely when the Autumn starts and finishes I think we could agree that it is not over.
What I would want to stress is this. Assuring that our school buildings are in the best condition that we can afford, that we are not carrying an unacceptable level of surplus places and thus wasting scarce resources on them, and seeking to achieve the most consistent and sustainable pattern of schools in order that our children get the best possible deal from their education is the most pressing and urgent educational problem that this Council faces.
It is essential that our next steps are well considered and well founded and take into account the wide range of views that we did receive during the consultation we carried out. We are keen that measurable progress should be made in a timely fashion. By the same token it would be foolish to bring forward proposals that had not benefited from all the steps necessary to ensure their realism.
I would ask the member to engage in serious dialogue about the real issues and work with us to seek solutions. This Administration has accepted the challenge of facing these problems and of finding ways forward. What we need is the constructive engagement of all of us with an interest in the future of Cardiff's children rather than the re-treading of issues about consultation which we dealt with last summer.
