Harlow Council's Liberal Democrat leader Cllr Chris Millington and parliamentary spokesman Lorna Spenceley visited Brays Grove School today to discuss the County Council's proposal to close the school. Cllr Millington said:

"Brays Grove's record in recent years has been very impressive, and it is now in the top 100 most improved schools in the country. It would be totally wrong to leave the whole of the south east of Harlow without any secondary school provision, and Tory-controlled Essex County Council must be told to think again about its plan to close Brays Grove."

The deadline for comments on Essex County Council's proposal to close Brays Grove School is Friday 10 February.
