Two Things

Happy New Year – again

Two things today

Kirklees Council in their wisdom decided that Castle Hall School in Mirfield was to close under the brighter futures scheme . The Office for School Adjudicator ruled against this , which is great news for Mirfield and north Kirklees .

The big thing here is that the schools in Mirfield , the parents , the students , the governors said NO to Kirklees and were vindicated . This is a great decision for common sense against council stupidity .

I attended some council meetings on this issue and found the council members to be arrogant and smug at best .

So there were lots of smiles in Mirfield last night and today .


And to finish I met someone today at a networking event called Paul Clarke – which is truly strange and the first time ever .


OK thanks for reading – nothing deep and meaningful – so the quote from Ian Dury “I’d rather be a mug than smug”
