Martin, now a Labour council candidate for Middlewich,
says: ''We have great schools in Middlewich providing an excellent education for
local children, but that is under threat from overcrowding. Cheshire East
schools are already oversubscribed by 10% and that situation is only going to
be made worse with all the new houses being built. It will be my priority, if I
am elected as your councillor, to
prevent us going back to the dark days of Margaret
Thatcher - a time of overcrowded classrooms and scarce resources. Labour fixed that
in Government, with Middlewich getting two brand new primary schools at Park
Road and St Mary's and extensions at Cledford.
I've worked with the Independent councillors and, whilst
they're nice people, they don't have the clout to sort out these big issues. As
headteacher at Middlewich we replaced and upgraded many old buildings and
facilities, as well as improving sports facilities with a new floodlit
Astroturf pitch available for community use.''
I will use my experience and expertise to benefit the
schoolchildren of Middlewich.
