This from Helen Downer, Wroxall. Ed
Community is the foundation of society.
The more services we remove the more people are isolated in those communities.
This impacts on how much our communities can help themselves and each other.
Services should only be removed as the very last resort, when it is proved that every other alternative has been explored.
There are always alternative ways of doing things.
I believe instead of closing schools other solutions have to be thoroughly and transparently explored first.
