I’m not sure what is hypocritical about consistently requesting that the Green administration of this city engages with the best schools providers across the UK to bring new schools and new resources to the education of our children in Brighton and Hove (The Argus, May 9).

The previous Conservative administration delivered the Connaught School to which Councillor Anne Pissaridou refers.

Since then it is in spite of, rather than because of, the Green administration that the city benefits from an additional new primary school in Brighton and Hove: the Bilingual Primary School.

I have seen absolutely no Labour Party support for acquiring a permanent site for this.

If both Labour and the Green Party had shown more flexibility in working to encourage other new schools here, the bulge class at the Connaught (and elsewhere) may not have been necessary.

While a Conservative administration worked with a Labour government to deliver £26 million in funding to build Brighton Aldridge Community Academy in Falmer, Coun Pissaridou would do well to remember it is the last Labour administration of Brighton and Hove which is the only one in living memory to have closed a school in the city (Comart).

Perhaps she should think more carefully before calling councillor colleagues hypocrites.
