The GSD has said that there should be an informed debate about co- education in this community, whether it is desirable and, if so, whether it should be limited to A-Level students or start earlier.
The Government has said, in response to a press release from the GSD’s Roy Clinton, that there was a very good reason that it did not give any comments to GBC about Hassan Centenary Terraces. The reason, says Number Six, was that GBC did not ask for them having only asked questions about Bob Peliza Mews.
Number Six says that the GSD’s Trevor Hammond “seems to have had a ‘Eureka’ moment”, having discovered that the government is considering the potential for LNG bunkering. In fact, says the Government, it has continually been made it clear that it has been studying this potential “for some considerable time”. One of many examples, says Number Six, is the Government’s Press Release 869 from 23rd November 2015 in which it said:
The GSD says it “notes with interest” the answers given to GBC by the Government in respect of potential delays to the Bob Peliza Mews affordable housing scheme.
