People Power Victory over Environment Zone

Dudley Environment Zone

Saved from Council Axe

Further to our story regarding the temporary reprieve of Gornal's state of the art Environment Zone at Robert St. School ( click here for report), we were pleased to learn that Lead Member for Leiseure and Culture Charles Fraser MacNamara has now done a complete about turn and spared the facility.

Headteacher John Crichton told the Dudley News that he was absolutely delighted, saying that at the very least this would give campaigners twelve months to prepare a business plan in case the same issue arises next year.

Mr. Crichton praised the publicity that had kept the politicians on their toes, a fact confirmed by Dudley North MP Ross Cranston, who told us:

'I am delighted that the Council leadership has now seen sense - though only after many constituents protested. And I want to thank those who expressed their strong views - which I fully supported.'
