Readers will have seen my previous posting about the defeat of my motion to the County Council calling for a widespread public consultation on the future of school admission in the County [following the overturning of the County proposals for Durham Johnston].

So what is happening now?

A report is going to the Council Cabinet next Thursday pointing out the problems (that I set out in my motion) and proposing - yes you have it - a widespread public consultation on the issue!

I guess I should be grateful that County has come round to my point of view, but the hypocrisy of it all is breathtaking.
