IF the new Manor School is built to specification, it should become a jewel in York's educational crown.
But the plans have not got off to the perfect start. Three months after the announcement of Manor's expansion, it has now been revealed its existing site is too small.
It is odd that this problem was not spotted earlier. At a time when York's budget is so tight we can only hope minimal time and money was spent on drawing up plans for a location that was unviable.
And we urge the city council to ensure that the public consultation on the new scheme is thorough and fair.
