In fact, I think it's a downright cheek and insulting to all the parents, staff and campaigners who worked so long and hard over many months to change the Council's mind. You didn't even attend the closure consultation meeting. <br />I would like to believe that you are genuine, but it now seems clear why you were so keen to jump on the bandwagon and support the school. Hopefully the voters will be able to see through your tactics.

Ive been following your comments on here ...Hi Mark<br /><br />Ive been following your comments on here for some time and the first thing I'd like to say is thank you for campaign to get trains to stop at Rochester. This has made a real difference to me and my family. I can now leave the house 20 mins later in the mornign and last night I got home half an hour later than I used to do. Its really made a big differnece to me having trains stopping at Rochester instead of having to go to Chatham. My husband was shocked when I came home early. And I mean that in a good way LOL!!<br /><br />I do understand the anger about the high speed service because the trains to Cannon St are definitely more crowded than ever. But I do think we need to be careful about throwing the baby out with the bath water (is that how you say it?). I think if they could lower the price on the high spped a little bit it could be a big success but their charging too much and cutting the Cannon St trains to fitin the high spped service which is running empty is a bit of a mistake. They should run mre trains to Cannon St and Victoria with only a few trains to St Pancras instead.<br /><br />Anyway. Sorry Im writing a letter now and need to get to bed. But I just want to say thank you again Mark getting the trains to stop at Rochester that's brilliant for me and my family and really is appreciated. Thank you.Deborah Walshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819953496641507148.post-46040476326217646152009-12-16T09:51:31.371+00:002009-12-16T09:51:31.371+00:00Yes, but Paul you admit yourself that you have a c...Yes, but Paul you admit yourself that you have a carriage all to yourself. Considering that it's largely been commuters who have faced above inflation price increases for the past few years and will continue to see fares rise above inflation until 2012 to pay for this, do you think it's right that they should have to pay so that SET get shiny new trains to play with that hardly anyone (as you admit) is using due to the increased cost of travelling on them. SET have right royally screwed this up. The new timetable is a complete nightmare due to the fact they are trying to squeeze in too many of the high speed trains at the expense of the Cannon St and Victoria services which are the lifeblood of commuters here in Medway. We can't simply change to the high speed service because the majority of us work in the City of London.Ed Torvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819953496641507148.post-27655291742474753392009-12-15T21:17:35.467+00:002009-12-15T21:17:35.467+00:00Is it a commuter service?

Quite clearly you don't know the facts of this case at all. St John's DOES NOT achieve poor results. Infact, are last three OFSTED's prove beyond all reasonable doubt that we are a "GOOD" school. St John's is being closed because Rose Collinson (a spineless, overpaid cow) has MISLED Medway Council.<br /><br />As a parent of a child currently in Year 1 at St John's I was absolutely heartbroken at the Council's decision on Tuesday night. What makes the entire matter worse is that they are basing their decision on the utterly flawed facts and figures supplied by Rose Collinson. Rose Collinson insists there are plenty of school places for our 53 pupils. Really Rose? How funny that we, the parents, and Mrs Keating, the Head Teacher at St John's have personally telephoned all the neighbouring schools and have not found that to be the case. Or may be Rose Collinson is from the future, a future where teleportation systems are available to us ... so we can beam ourselves from one infant school to another junior school in two different parts of Medway while towing toddlers and prams behind us!!! We have gone into the last two council meetings and supplied the Councillors with "REAL" facts and "REAL" figures and yet, once again they have been ignored. Two Councillors even admitted that they have never read the evidence we have presented to them and that the council are only basing their decision on the rubbish Ms Collinson is spouting!!! What do we have to do to make the Council hear us??? If we have to take over the school and chain ourselves to the railings ... be SURE ... we WILL.Angie Burdettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819953496641507148.post-4194580643859943602009-10-12T12:29:33.727+01:002009-10-12T12:29:33.727+01:00I'm not a Tory supporter but I have to admit t...I'm not a Tory supporter but I have to admit that you have come out of this whole fiasco with at least a bit of respect from me, unlike the majority of councillors both Tory and Labour. Les Wicks should annunce his immediate resignation after this fiasco as should Rose Collinson and Simon Trotter. I'd also like to see the back of all of the Labour councillors who chose to use our children (MY CHILD!!!!) as political footballs. I have complete contempt for all of them. For the various Tory councillors who chose to shut down our school despite the evidence against closure, for the council officers who made the recommendations in the first place, and for the Labour members who were quite frankly like flies around ****. Shame on all of them. And a begrudging thanks to Mr Reckless for actually sticking up for our school even though I'm sure it did him no favours amongst the Tory upper echelons whom he opposed.St Johns Parentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819953496641507148.post-9945914833074819692009-10-11T23:36:01.155+01:002009-10-11T23:36:01.155+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.St Johns Parentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819953496641507148.post-27060289592902573212009-10-08T22:45:12.398+01:002009-10-08T22:45:12.398+01:00Im so sorry you feel you have to remain anonymous....Im so sorry you feel you have to remain anonymous.

Simple things to start with.. Politeness, caring, sharing and most of all honesty, it seems a few cabinet members could do with going back to the start and remembering their values. I like many others strongly disagree with the closures, but than you knew we would do, people do not like being lied to, which is what is happening, but....
