Episode description

Hackney Council has agreed plans to close four schools in the borough at the end of the school year, and more boroughs look to be following suit including neighbouring Islington where parents are anxiously awaiting an update on the potential closure of a further two primary schools in the area. 

 

We join the London Standard’s Jacob Phillips who has been reporting on the story plus we hear from Rosie Turvey, a London parent who has concerns about her own children’s school.

 

And in part two, do you prefer Forest, Lime or Boris? 

 

With around 50,000 hire bikes available across the capital, The London Standard City Hall and Transport Editor, and keen cyclist, Ross Lydall, has been out testing the options and joins us with his review.
