The local authority did see it. There is a planning process there. There are population targets laid down. It saw it. There was a real failure here to plan properly, both by the Department and the local authority. There was no joined-up thinking. Education is one area but there are other areas which have failed here in terms of amenities. Pupils should have a basic and fundamental right to a school place and they have been failed.
