AT the last meeting of Warrington Borough Council, the Conservative member for children’s services, Sheila Woodyatt, told assembled colleagues that Labour’s Building Schools for the Future programme was ‘a con’ and that the money was ‘never there’.
Oh dear! It seems Mrs Woodyatt is having a senior moment. She was, after all, the same person who told the Warrington Guardian that the new Culcheth High School was ‘the best thing to happen (to the village) in a hundred years’.
That’s quite high praise for something she now rubbishes so frivolously.
If the programme was indeed ‘a con’ as she suggests, perhaps she might like to explain what that rather large, three-storey building on Warrington Road, signposted ‘Culcheth High Community Campus’ is? The one built from £28 million investment from the Labour government? A mirage, perhaps?
