South powys schools rethink.

With no regard for the children & communities affected, Powys CC want to sacrifice Gwernyfed so they can get funding for a new school for the people of Brecon. The result? Children spending up to 3 hours a day on the bus. Children excluded from after school sports teams, music clubs etc. as they live too far from a school & must start the journey home. Children too tired to undertake effective homework after a 10 hour day at school/on the bus. Communities devoid of working age families, who don't want to live in an area without schools. Communities dying away as the life is drained out of them. Rural businesses failing. Social care costs rising for a rural population increasingly made up of old people. Well done Powys - you will fail the people and businesses of the county in the most fundamental ways possible, and then those responsible will retire or step down from their council positions with impunity, leaving the mess for others to live with.
