THE editor's response regaring the laser scheme was not convincing as the quotation could have applied to the council policy of rejection of the use of the Civic Centre for this, thus not allowing this questionable scheme to proceed. Clear enough I think. Councillor Alec Samuels's complaints were reasonable.

Can we let this decision stand? The editorial comment flies in the face of your own survey when 80.5 per cent supported the proposed school re-organisation.
