What a joke !

It’s been announced in today’s Yorkshire Evening Post that the Grammar School at Leeds is offering to let the public use Ford House Garden for the next ten years. The offer is conditional on the school being given planning permission to build on the main school site Protected Playing Pitch. In 2007 we rejected an offer from the school to hand over Ford House Garden in perpetuity, so why on earth would they think that we’d accept a lesser offer now ?

The significance of the offer is that it shows that the school still thinks that it can bribe us into giving up our right under the UDP and PPG17 to have all the playing fields protected.
