At the diversion of footpath across the school site public inquiry held on January 6th 2010, Donna Sager, Assistant Director of Children’s Services, gave evidence to the Inspector that £1.6m of capital receipts would be funding the school. However, on 22nd of March 2008 in a report to the Executive Committee the Council claimed £6,679,000 of funding for Vale View School was to come from capital receipts – the sale of redundant school land. All along I had been saying that this source of funding would not be available at this level to the Council and they branded me as “vexatious” for correctly identifying this problem.
