I write to congratulate those councillors who were able to take a view of the whole city rather than their parochial patches and vote for the new admissions system.
I sincerely hope this will be a turning point for education throughout the city. It can lead to a more comprehensive system and away from the elitism of parental choice based on distance travelled, which inevitably leads to huge pressure on what are perceived to be the city's middle-class schools.
