Local schools in Neath Port Talbot may gain a reprieve

There is an early sign that the coalition is putting clear (or should that be "rainbow"?) water between themselves and the Labour junto they replaced last month. The first NPT News issued by the coalition announces that it:

wishes to review the decision taken in respect of school reorganisation in the Swansea Valley. It seeks to establish if alternative ways to bring 21st Century School standards to the Swansea Valley can be achieved which would be more acceptable to the community.

If this means that the excessive centralisation, which led to good, popular, local schools being closed, can be stopped or even reversed, then it is very welcome. If the coalition looks at the carbon footprint of the reorganisation, then it is doubly welcome.
