Heyworth Primary School's possible closure and relocation, thanks to West Sussex County Council's oxymoronic education "authority" (The Argus, April 17), mirrors the closure and re-location of Ifield First/Deerswood Special School.

The council's plans have been morally wrong, educationally unsound and totally undemocratic.

They have nothing to do with the improvement of education for our children and everything to do with a property deal for grown-ups, who should know better.

-Richard W Symonds, independent candidate for Ifield
