Of this, £108,758.52p will be sent on to Cheshire County Council.

In view of the county council's wish to 'save' £60,000 by closing Ashley School - if they eventually actually do this - will they tell us how much of this £108,758.52p they intend to spend on the people of Ashley from whom they levied it?

Out of a total of nearly £134,000 it doesn't seem unreasonable to want £60,000 of your own money back.

If the people of Ashley aren't going to get it, who will?
