Letter published in the Richmond and Twickenham Times from a local parent

What do you do when a consultation does not give you the answer you want? In the case of Richmond Council, the answer appears to be you ignore the result and pretend you never asked the question in the first place. Plans to redevelop Strathmore Special School involve selling the school's land and a third of the land at the adjacent Russell School for development and then rebuilding both schools on the smaller site whilst doubling the intake at the Russell. This will transform the character of the school and the local area. Not surprisingly many people oppose these plans. The consultation asked 3 questions including whether people supported the specific plans for the Russell. Yet when the results were published last week there was no mention of the third question  although I can have an educated guess what the answer was.
