MR Brian Dowling (ECHO Letters, Feb 27) claims that the North City Academy can proceed after two years of legal battles.

The reality is the North City Academy could have been built on the former John Hamilton site quite adequately several years ago and there has never been a real case for depriving the people of Everton of the Dixie Dean playing fields.

It is this council which has caused a legal conflict when a perfectly obvious alternative was always available. The delay in building the new school was of the council's own making.
