SNP Leith Residents' Survey

You may have received a survey form from Leith SNP this week asking you to complete it and return it them via freepost. Among the questions they are asking for our view on they specifically ask “Are there any issues in Leith that want tackled”.

If you are concerned about the proposed closure of Fort Primary and the transfer of all the children from there to Trinity in 2010/2011, this my be a good opportunity to raise this issue with the party who form part of the coalition in control of the city council. This is, of course, the same party that previous made an election commitment to significantly reduce class sizes. The commitment they made to P1 class sizes of 18 seems impossible to reconcile with the anticipated P1 class size of 38 at Trinity if this proposal goes through!
