Pleased to hear you are behind me on this one MaccForum. I dont think i will be limiting myself to a letter just on this issue either.

   I'm sure, Satisfied Customer, that the Council wouls give the opinion of an ex-pat living in Australia, the full weighting that it deserves...

   Whilst Linda Lockett deserves to be commended for her stance she must appreciate that there will be casualties during the credit crunch and it looks like the number is up for Ash Grove. Both my kids had behavioural problems and I know first hand other schools in the area have the facilities to deal with wayward lads like Benjamin.

   A heart warming story but in these tough economic times than can be no room for sentiment. A decision has been made - albeit a tough one - so it is essential that the school closes as planned. I will be writing to the council encouraging them that their stance is supported by the silent majority.

   good for you linda, i hope they pay attention to your campaign. from your old neighbour on park view.
