Has done well with housing and is to be much commended for ULEZ. But this isn't so good. Worth reading the thread.
Basically, the capacity to deliver all the free school meals costs money, especially in well off (more Tory) boroughs with relatively low numbers on free school meals. If you're a school in say Newham with high FSM numbers already it's probably easier to add a bit of a capacity to it (though that won't always be true). Had richer boroughs been carrying this capacity spare, they'd have (quite rightly) been told by their internal auditors that they were wasting money.
How does this get resolved?
