EIGHT years ago Oaklands Community School in Lordshill closed and, shortly after, the site was demolished and cleared with a Labour promise of building homes on this site.
Labour said it wants to sell the site for housing, even giving itself planning permission, but then nothing. Meanwhile year after year the council housing waiting list continues to grow – nothing, just an empty lump of unused land.
Have no doubt, this Labour council will, as in previous local elections, promise housing for this site.
As this election draws closer and on Labour's past promises of housing on this land, thus far it all adds up to nothing.
