In his autumn newsletter Gordon reported that following a request from the Cookley Sebright School Governing Body he had stepped in to resolve long running complaints about a trail of defects arising from the extensive works carried out between February 2013 and January 2014.

“Having facilitated a meeting between the School and Place Partnership, who act as WCC’s agent for schools across the County and the contractors I thought we had an agreement that reparations would begin in February. I have to report that I was disappointed to learn that the contractors failed to turn up at appointed date.

I have had a meeting with County Council Chief Executive who has assured me that action will be taken to get the work started at Easter”, says Gordon.
