I recently met parents from the Future of Adur Schools Teams (FAST) to discuss the lack of school places for Adur children.
Following the meeting, I will be arranging a round table meeting of key stakeholders, including head teachers, governors, local councillors and parents, to discuss what the plans are to ensure children in Adur have access to the high quality education that their parents want for them.
After this I will host a public meeting and invite all local parents to discuss this crucial issue in the New Year.
I will also be putting together a survey to better understand local residents' views. You will find it on my Facebook page shortly, so watch this space, as they say!
School funding and places, which are intimately tied together, are a huge issue in Worthing and Adur and it is something I am taking very seriously.
