My family have lived in Brighton for generations, I myself was brought up in Queen's Park and went to Patcham.
What Councillor Simon Burgess has managed to capture for himself has never been done before - to win for Queen's Park the coveted prize of access to Dorothy Stringer.
This whole process has not only been littered with inaccuracies, it has been totally driven by the interests of Queen's Park and Hanover.
It was no surprise that the amendment for the inclusion of Elm Grove in the Falmer catchment was the only one not passed at the recent schools admissions review meeting. That would have cost Labour votes.
Falmer has been left high and dry by these proposals.
It will have the highest percentage of FSM (free school meals) in the city and will not benefit from a better social mix provided by Queen's Park or Hanover.
It will become like Comart mark II.
It just shows how far the Labour Party has come, it would rather look after their vocal middle class than its traditional supporters.
More than 3,000 people citywide opposed these proposals.
How many non-Queen's Park and Hanover supporters are there in the town ?
