  • Keep free school transport for Grammar School pupils in Lincolnshire.
    UPDATE: 8/6/16 We've won. Thanks to your support the County Council have backed down and free grammar school transport is safe for at least the next 2 years (see below). Councillor Mrs Patricia Bradwell, Executive Councillor for Children's Services, said: "Having considered the detail of the Task and Finish Group report and the comments and feedback of the Scrutiny Committee, I have decided to keep the current policy as it is with a review in two years' time. Then, the financial climate may be a lot better and give us more scope for change. As it is we are looking at having to make substantial savings which does not give us the flexibility to make changes – any proposed changes would incur further costs on the council. The current grammar school policy is lawful and being administered correctly and while some students will benefit while others won't, it does provide good support for many students who wouldn't otherwise be able to access grammar education. The important thing is for all pupils to have access to good schools, whether grammars, comprehensives or academies, around the county." Once again, Thank you, you've down our children proud Mick

  • Improve West Rainton School Avenue Playground
    Counsellor David Hall has been an excellent support of our cause helping us in every way possible. Today he emailed some good news that I'm sure he won't mind me sharing. I met with Terry Collins today and he has agreed this is an exceptional one off case and refurbishment of equipment within the fenced area can go ahead funded by the play area group. We are absolutely delighted with this amazing result. The next round of bidding ends March 2016 (our first bid attempt failed in December). Many thanks for your help signing our petition, it made a real difference with nearly 300 signatures.
