Talking to a Wall

Yesterday (Monday 13 th March) FB and myself went to a drop in centre to meet a local county council member and talk about Monkscroft School.
The venue was miles away from the school and they choose the drop in times of 2.00 -4.00. Now is it just me, but choosing a venue so far away isn't really encouraging parents to drop by , considering many do not have a car!
Also the time 2.00-4.00 is either side of school pick up time (3.05) , is this just me but i feel alarm bells ringing here. They are purposly choosing this time and venue to inconvience parents , so they wont drop in.
FB and myself sat at the table and chatted away asking many questions. There main answer was we want something to stay in the heart of the community BUT our projected numbers of children will fall to seventy in the next few years. We mentioned the new housing around the school would encourage new families etc they answered some are flats and no children will live their, i nearly fell off my chair , i live in a flat! No answer
Also many people will buy houses won't have families, so why are these houses advertised as family homes then??
No answer.
I brought up the closure of some local playgroups , our playgroup could swell with numbers due to this , her answer this does not mean they will go to this school afterwards. Grrrrrrrr of course they do about 9/10 will go.
We mentioned that if another school does not federate with us we will close is this correct ? she answered yes. So our fate is in another schools hands ?? She said its up to you to convince them. Arhhhhhhhhhhhhh how one sided is that.
I left the place , saddened as i feel the minds have already been made up.
