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.'
