On Wednesday I visited Parkland's School in Sketty to see for myself the playing fields that the ruling Labour group on Swansea Council want to sell.
I was shocked. These fields are at the heart of the school and form an important recreation area for the 520 plus children who attend it. If the fields were lost the children would lose their infant playground, would be cut off from ancient woodlands and be confined to a small space at the far end of the school, leaving them with inadequate sports facilities.
I understand Swansea Council's need to sell off surplus land to fund school improvements but these playing fields are not surplus to requirements, they are fundamental to the ethos of the school. Judge for yourself from this video made by parents and children at the school.

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.
Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.
I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.
Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.
The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
