Etz Chaim Jewish Primary governors' chair, Adam Dawson, has voiced concern that "local residents are being misled about the school project" by opponents of the scheme.

With building work about to start on the conversion of a former garden centre in Mill Hill into permanent premises for the free school, a privately funded leaflet has been produced to counter what the governors claim are "myths and untruths".

Three thousand copies were hand-delivered to homes in the area at the weekend.

Mr Dawson said it clarified in considerable detail issues such as the actual ownership of the site - and, in particular, the ramifications for taxpayers of the ongoing legal challenges to Barnet Council's granting of planning permission.
