As to those who went on about Labour’s inability to fund a new hospital, one brave warrior pointed out that ” the AAU investment under the previous Labour Government was an example of capital investment, and increased investment in NHS services that resulted in massive improvements in health care after 2001 is another example of improved services”.
This contributor also wondered why Westfield Academy got £20 Mill Government Grant yet no ‘house building’ was required to fund it. Good point. Academy money is flowing into Hertfordshire like there’s no tomorrow. Watford Grammer’s Head has just moved on to an “Academies Advisory Role”. However our warrior should understand that when a school becomes an academy, the land title transfers from the local authority to those academy sponsors.
