READERS of Gateshead News may recall that Liberal Democrats were asking why Labour Councillor Kevin Dodds was claiming Windmill Hills School in Bensham had a "promising future" at the same time as his own group was planning to close down the school.
The claim was made on Gateshead Council's official website.
Liberal Democrats can now reveal that the claim of a "promising future" for the school was removed shortly before polling day.
Instead, Cllr Dodds has swung to the other extreme, saying the school "is under threat of closure."
Lib Dem campaigner Susan Craig said, "This is the opposite of the claim he had on the council's website for most of the election period.
"Despite Labour trying to close the school, Lib Dems will continue to argue for it to remain open. School places will be needed for the many families moving into new houses in Bensham."
