He also says he campaigned for a new secondary school in North Kingston and was branded ‘deeply irresponsible’ by Kramer. He claims she has since changed her mind and is supporting a new school.
Eleanor Tunnicliffe (Lab) Still haven't contacted yet.
James Page (Green) Haven't contacted either.
Sorry, haven't had much time yet but this is what I've gathered so far.
