Hackney gets too much cash for schools

Some boroughs complain Hackney has more than its fair share of policemen. Now here's Haringey complaining about Hackney schools: "Our children get £1318 less per head for their schools than neighbouring boroughs like Camden, Islington and Hackney. We have now reached the point where the Government is finally consulting on the funding formula for schools to start in 2011."

Could this be a dilemma for Hackney politicians? Tone down the success stories to encourage more funding or tone them up to encourage more voters? Here Mayor Pipe discusses the cash gathering game... at least when there isn't an election around the corner: The message must be clear not true
