Romesh Rangathan critical of West Sussex council after child's school placing
'More than disappointing'
Mr Ranganathan, who hosts A League of Their Own and a Saturday morning show on BBC Radio 2, said he was particularly angry as his elder son was already at the school the family had selected as his youngest son's first choice.Taking to social media, he said: "It's more than disappointing."He said he had emailed the council six times but had had no response. Taking his case to his MP, Mr Ranganathan said: "I wait two week, they come back and say 'West Sussex has looked into it. They can't do anything. They have conducted an investigation into their placement procedure and found it satisfactory'."I bet they have," Mr Ranganathan said."It's not the football, it's my son's school placement."We have to go on the waiting list and see what happens."
The council spokesperson said: "We will always work with families to ensure a suitable school placement can be found."On Wednesday, WSCC said 91.1% had been offered their first preference school and 98.6% of all applicants were offered a place at one of their three preferences.

Five takeaways from West Sussex County Council leader in Hot Seat
The leader of West Sussex County Council has been in the Hot Seat at BBC Radio Sussex answering questions from Marshall lives in Washington and was first elected to the council in 2017 before being chosen as leader in was asked on Thursday about the subjects that matter most to people across the county, including secondary school places, budget pressures and are five takeaways from what he had to say… Secondary school places There are 271 children in West Sussex who have not been offered a place at any of their three preferred secondary schools for the upcoming academic some parents, including comedian and former school teacher Romesh Ranganathan, it means dropping older siblings at one school and the youngest at a school in a different area."You've got to get two or more children to different places at the same time," Mr Ranganathan said."The system is letting people down, there's people whose kids have been allocated so far away that they don't know how they're going to do the school run."Mr Ranganathan asked Mr Marshall for his response to people who say the system is failing and if he thinks it is responded: "We've got 97% of children in a secondary who have been given one of their three choices. That's not a broken system."But I do recognise there will always be a cohort that will be sort of disappointed."Mr Marshall said he would "love" to get 100% of children into their preferred cited an increase in people moving to the area as the reason for the lack of places and said building schools needs to "sit alongside" plans for housing developments. Solar panels on farmland The government has pledged to treble the UK's capacity to generate solar power over the next five years - but where will the panels go?Well, not on West Sussex agricultural land if the council leader has his way."I don't think we should be using good quality agricultural land for solar farms, I think the best locations for those are brownfield sites," he said."We, as West Sussex, have two sites of solar farms and they're on old refuse sites or brownfield sites, and personally I think that's the best use for those locations."But Mr Marshall admitted it would be up to the landowner to choose what to do with the land, rather than the council, though they would need planning permission from the district councils. Devolution In December, the government announced a "devolution revolution", with elected mayors across England and an end to two-tier council the plans, all 12 of the boroughs and district councils and East and West Sussex county councils will be elected mayor will take on responsibility for strategic decisions on the economy, transport and infrastructure and new unitary authorities will be created to run all of the day-to-day and Hove is already run by a unitary city council, but its population is smaller than the government wants new authorities to Marshall said it could mean the city council tries to take on some of the population currently under West Sussex County Council."I don't want to do that, as far as I'm concerned West Sussex is West Sussex," he said."The situation with Brighton and Hove is a little bit confusing at the moment."Mr Marshall said proposals will be presented to the government in September, which will then decide the is also seeking the Conservative Party nomination to become the Mayor of Sussex. Roads and potholes Mr Marshall was asked about the county council's track record on repairing potholes."We've really managed to step up on our road infrastructure and repairs," he said."Last year, for the first three months, reported potholes were 7,500 whereas this year it's 1,700."That's an indication as to how effective our work has been, [and] when a pothole does get reported we normally allow 28 days to go and address it, depending on severity."We're now doing it in 14 days, so we're very proud of what we've done. I hope residents are beginning to feel the difference."There will always be complaints, and i understand that, but we've been making a real effort."Mr Marshall said that now the number of potholes being reported seemed to be reducing, the council is able to focus on proactive work on the roads, rather than claimed the council had improved 127 miles of road so far this year, compared with 131 miles overall last year. Social care According to the 2021 census, West Sussex has a population of 882,600, of which some 23%, or 205,800, are aged 65 and this figure set to increase to 28%, or 267,200, by 2035, Mr Marshall said the "complexity of need" is only going to become more demanding."We're finding more and more people are turning to us as a local authority for assistance and help," he said."It's a statutory duty [but] the funding we receive doesn't meet that, and now 2% of council tax has been dedicated to social care responsibilities.."Council tax is a very emotive subject, I'm not necessarily in favour of an uncapped council tax, the focus is on keeping it as low as possible."

Ofcom blocks BBC plans for Radio 2 and Radio 5 extensions
In a ruling published on Wednesday, the watchdog said that a BBC Radio 2 extension – which would have broadcast music and archive content from the 50s, 60s and 70s – and plans to extend the broadcasting hours of Radio 5 Sports Extra could not proceed. However, it further allowed plans for new DAB+ stations Radio 1 Dance, Radio 1 Anthems, and Radio 3 Unwind to go ahead. The watchdog is required to consider the effects of 'material' changes to the BBC's TV, radio and online public services on commercial competition. READ MORE: 111 BBC journalists demand change at top as Israel-Palestine reporting 'crippled' Ofcom's judgment said: 'Radio 1 Dance, Radio 1 Anthems, and Radio 3 Unwind can proceed. We found these stations would have a limited impact on fair and effective competition, which would be justified by the public value of the proposals. 'The BBC Radio 2 extension, which would broadcast music and archive content from the 50s, 60s and 70s, cannot go ahead. Although the proposal could provide some public value, this would not be enough to justify the significant impact on fair and effective competition, which includes the potential to reduce investment incentives for commercial radio operators. 'The BBC's plans to extend the broadcasting hours of Radio 5 Sports Extra may not proceed. While it could offer some public value, for example by broadening the amount of sport on linear radio, this wouldn't be sufficient to justify the significant impact it would have on fair and effective competition, in particular on the talkSPORT network.' The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) welcomed the decisions. Paul Siegert, NUJ national broadcasting organiser, said: "We welcome this decision by Ofcom. While a Radio 2 spin-off might have benefited audiences in terms of archive music performances, the BBC already has a network of 39 local radio stations which are perfectly placed to serve an older demographic. 'This would be an ideal time for the corporation to think again about how best to spend money from the licence fee, and perhaps channel the investment that had been earmarked for Radio 2 back into restoring some of the local programming already lost around the country."

Romesh Ranganathan loses son's school place appeal
Romesh Ranganathan loses son's school place appeal Image caption, Romesh Ranganathan said he had emailed the council six times after his son's school placement Author, Stuart Maisner Role, BBC News, South East 1 hour ago The comedian and TV presenter Romesh Ranganathan has said his appeal to get his youngest son into one of his preferred choices of secondary schools has been turned down. Mr Ranganathan said he had "accepted the decision" but commented that "the system wasn't working". Speaking in a video on Instagram the TV personality said "lots of people in the same situation" had contacted him and that the situation was "particularly bad for people with special needs and disabilities". A spokesperson for West Sussex County Council (WSCC) said: "We understand the disappointment of parents who are not offered a place at a school of their preferences." Mr Ranganathan commented that there was "no easy solution to the situation" and said his family would have to "go with an alternative". In April the comedian said he had emailed West Sussex County Council six times after his son had been placed in a school "on the other side of town", and not at the same school as his elder two brothers. He said at the time he had received no response and his local MP, who agreed to investigate, had been told the council "can't do anything about it". A WSCC statement said: "We do all we can to provide young people with school places and this year we were able to offer 87% of the 9,050 secondary school applicants a place at their first choice of school, while nearly 97% were offered a place at one of their three preferences. "Applications are considered by our admissions team on their priority according to the relevant oversubscription criteria for their preferred schools, which may include proximity of the school to home and whether other siblings attend the same school."
