Revoke councils decision to close Firfield Primary School, for electoral voting

Adam Godsall feel passionately about the school being closed for voting because he feels there is double standards for not having children in education and wants to change this.

He said: “We as parents are penalised for taking children out of school during term, but it’s ok for Erewash Borough Council to ignore these rules, and close schools at will, placing undue pressure on the schools own discretion to stay open.

“And causing undue stress to parents who struggle to find alternative care for their children when unexpectedly forced to be off school.”
