pic by Duncan Brown
Parents and community activists have once again occupied Wyndford Primary School in Glasgow in a bid to save their school from closure.A packed Solidarity all members meeting in Glasgow on Tuesday night voted unanimously to send a message of support to the occupiers after one of the parents made an impassioned appeal on the campaigners behalf.
Peter, whose children attend the adjoining St Gregory’s Primary School, told the meeting of the community’s determination not to give in to the council. He told of how the council had cut water to the building and was trying to cut of the electricity. The parents are in determined mood however and with support of the community have managed to stop the council from removing furniture and fittings from the building.
A campaign was mounted in Glasgow after the New Labour run Council voted to close up to 25 schools and nurseries in the city.
