In “Managers blamed for poor standards” (TES, October 9) you say that between 1994 and 1997 Tower Hamlets Council was run by the Liberal Democrats, and that there was a “planning and policy vacuum”.
Between 1994 and 1997 the council was, in fact, Labour controlled and still is. Otherwise, the story was accurate, and a proper and balanced assessment of a lengthy tome and associated complicated issues. Thank you for treating the report on our borough by the Office for Standards in Education with the seriousness and candour it deserved.
