DID Roberta Blackman-Woods MP see all the local people protesting against the academy proposed for Durham City.

I hope she saw how much they cared deeply about the bad decision to create an academy and close a perfectly good school in Belmont.

Labour has got this so wrong.

This demonstration and opposition to the academy was not “invented” by the Lib Dems.

There were staff from Belmont and many local parents, carers and local residents outside the school gates.

Why doesn’t Ms Blackman- Woods listen to her constituents in Durham –the job she was elected to do?
