Richard and Mayor Tom visit the new site of Bedford Greenacre Independent School

Visit to Greenacre Independent School

With Labour still pushing forward with their mean-spirited 'education tax', Richard was pleased to meet with Ian Daniel, the head teacher of Bedford Greenacre Independent School this week. During his visit, Richard had the opportunity to see the progress being made on the construction of the new school.

Richard Fuller MP said:

I'm excited to see the finished project when it opens in January at the start of the Spring school term, but from what I saw during my visit on Thursday, the school is going to offer outstanding facilities as well as fantastic views of Bedfordshire countryside.

It was also good to see Mayor Tom Wootton at the school as well as David Eyton-Williams, Chair of Greenacre Trust Limited and Steve Williamson from the Board of Governors.
