It looks like 26th March is the date the school can re-open – and the Nursery children will be back there soon after Easter. But this required organisation, team working and discipline which doesn’t happen automatically. That’s why we have so-called “back room” staff throughout the Council. When things like fires at schools happen, all the school and Council staff can work together to get the contractors and others to make things happen quickly and efficiently. With people like Dave and Denise, there’s experience, know-how and the ability to know how a school and its children (and its wider community) can be supported.
Dave says that some things happen in Burngreave like nowhere else. On Monday, a chap came out of a house on Malton Street. Overalls and gloves – “what can I do to help?” he asked Dave. “Thanks – but it’s all taken care of” replied Dave. “No, that’s not right – there must be something I can do – even just filling a skip…”
Dave asks – “where else would you get that?”
