RE: Darwen Academy. Again we have Labour councillor Dave Hollings decrying the coalition parties over their "backtracking" of an election promise.

It is the first time in local government for the For Darwen party, so they would not know what the then Labour council had arranged.

And although the Lib-Dems and Tories may have been aware of the non-feasibility of the Moorland site, from what has been reported it would seem that these two parties were not given the full costing facts.

If this is the case, come on Labour, stop trying to cover up your contempt' for the voters of Darwen.
