The Children and Young People Overview and Scrutiny Committee considered this report on 5 December 2017 and its comments were set out in paragraph 7 of the report. The Cabinet asked for it to be placed on record that the second sentence of paragraph 7.2.1 of the report should read as follows:
‘The Programme Lead - School Services noted that under the Greenwich Judgement, priority could not be given to Medway children over Kent children and unless there was an ease of access area, distance would be the prevailing criterion.’
