Primary schools in the two boroughs are due to open on January 4. Cllr Georgia Gould, who chairs the London Councils group as well as leading Camden, tweeted in response to the announcement: "Putting a list out to media including half of London boroughs with NO conversation with councils or education leaders is deeply irresponsible. "How to explain to parents that their children can go to school in Camden but not if study in Westminster/ Barnet? Government must work with us."
