Petition to save a 'green lung'.

The BHASVIC school field is a wonderful asset. A pleasure to the eye of the passer-by, and a life-enhancing resource to the 3 schools that use it for sports  and local residents for casual recreation. It has been open to the public for 30 years.

Now the field has been identified by Central Government (Education Funding Agency) as the proposed permanent site of the King's School (a Church of England Free School for pupils aged 11-18).

To oppose these plans a petition has been launched here:-
