Children are working with equipment older than I am, not one mile
from Rolls-Royce and Airbus, two of the leading technology and

collapsed flooring that has been coned off because there is not the
budget to repair it. Windows go unreplaced and staff have been
forced to decide whether to replace their ageing heating system or
undertake other routine maintenance. It is a choice they should not

rain and the changing rooms for sports are not fit for purpose...
