Local campaigners across Andover have backed the Lib Dem campaign to force the County Council chiefs to sort out the school places shortfall and protect our children’s centres from cuts. Test Valley Lib Dem campaigner Alan Dowden has supported parents’ calls for answers as to why the County failed to listen to warnings that there would be a massive shortfall in school places.

Alan said, “It was obvious that there would be a shortfall in places for our children but the County failed to act. Temporary classrooms are not the answer, it’s a backwards step.” Romsey campaigner Sandra Gidley added, “With this school places crisis, cuts in the youth service, and children’s centres under threat, it’s clear that Hampshire’s next generation are being let down by the County Council.”
