MADAM – David Drew’s response to my letter is surprising.

I have never considered Mr Drew witless, so must assume he is displaying wilful incomprehension in his letter (June 18) and a surprising level of parochial paranoia concerning those who have not ‘lived in Stroud for some time’.

So I’ll try again, for the record the Green Party does not support the free school policy, and does not support any proposal under this policy regardless of the size or philosophical basis.
