Conservatives have condemned Labour’s handling of the new schools programme for Greenwich Schools. The Labour Council stated that new and refurbished schools would open in Sept 2009, but only 2 out of 5 had been started at that point. Labour had yet to submit a plan for three schools including Plumstead Manor by at the start of term. Leader of Greenwich Conservatives Spencer Drury said: “There are fears that the new schools programme will be cut, so our Council’s incompetence will have a major impact on our children. It is simply not good enough.
