Day 334

21 April 2010

I've been busy, today, so I haven't had time to think of photography.

This is partly down to the fact that I've been distributing petitions to various shops in the town. The petition asks people to sign if they agree that Dorset County Council should halt their plans to change the education system from a three-tier, to a two-tier system, forcing closure of the middle schools in Purbeck. Many people in Purbeck are against the option to change to two-tier, because there is a lack of funding available to provide an acceptable standard of education. There are also concerns that the council failed to carry out an Economic Impact Assessment, which will provide information on how Swanage would be affected if the middle school was to close. If you're interested in finding out more, visit http://www.educationswanage.co.uk/.

If you see the petition whilst you're out and about, and agree with the above, please sign it!
