Gareth Williams, Director of the Children and Young People’s Service for Leicestershire County Council, said: “We welcome the decision which has dismissed all of the Community Association’s claims and should bring to an end what has been, in our view, a long and unnecessary legal process.

“The judgement recognises that we made every effort to resolve the dispute, including going to mediation, and we regret the Community Association felt they had to take this to court. The ruling also accepts our assertion Breedon Community Association does not have a lifelong entitlement to free use.

“The County Council will continue to wholeheartedly support and encourage community use of St Hardulph’s and other Leicestershire schools by voluntary groups.”
