Hertfordshire Liberal Democrats are very pleased their nagging earlier this year at the County Council to make their website informative and and responsive to extreme weather conditions has finally paid off. The new system introduced for the first time today is a step in the right direction. Unfortunately with nearly 500 schools if you have a child at Beechfield and another at Westfield, both in Watford, it is quite hard to tell if they are open or closed.
Lib Dem leader Chris White said: 'Finally we have a system that works. It is a shame, however, that some schools have not waited until morning to use it. Several schools decided to close before midnight rather than waiting to see what the conditions are in the morning. However if they remain as they are they have made the right decision.'
Chris added: 'This year because of weather and swine flu children have missed many days of school. It is important, even on the last day of term, that we give children the best start in life and the best education. However, kids: if the schools are closed, have fun - send us pictures of your snowmen (snowmen@sixtofix.co.uk) we will put them on our website. It is a very obvious 'Happy Christmas' from the weather.'
