James Wharton MP

I spent this morning at All Saints school in Ingleby Barwick.  The Town Council had organised a visit from a representative of the church and, along with local councillor Ross Patterson and members of the Town Council, we discussed a number of options for possible expansion.  One thing is clear: Ingleby Barwick needs more school places and proper provision for local children.   This was not adequately appreciated in the initial proposals in Stockton Borough Council’s “Building Schools for the Future” consultation document and a better effort needs to be made by the Borough.  I am pleased to be working alongside the Town Council and thel IBIS Borough Councillors to hopefully achieve this.
