Bradford East MP David Ward visited Idle C of E Primary School where he met with parents and governors to discuss education in Bradford and other local issues.

Some of the topics raised by parents were concerns over school places and the expansion of the school, which the Liberal Democrat MP will be discussing with councillors.

John Bowers, head teacher of Idle C of E Primary, said: “David has been to our school many times in the past and we’re delighted that we are able to create a forum where parents can meet David and discuss different issues.”

Mr Ward said: “The meeting with the parents was very beneficial as we were able to highlight different issues that they wanted addressing. I look forward to meeting them again soon to follow up on some of the issues raised.”
