Parents of pupils at Lewisham Bridge Primary School look forward to another night camping out on the roof of the Grade II listed building to prevent its demolition by Lewisham Council. Parents are angry that Lewisham Council insist on busing children, some of nusery age, to another site - a system that is costing in excess of £900 a day just for the bus hire. The campagn has had widespread support and linked up with the Glasgow school occupation and the Visteon workers who have been occupying their factorys in protest at the threat to their jobs.
A group of Visteon workers from Belfast who came to support the campagn are pictured in front of the banner.
Lewisham Council plan to build a combined primary and secondary school on a site that is bearly big enough for a pimary school. This will meen raising the number of children on the site from 350 to 834 with ages ranging from three to sixteen all competing for limited space at break and lunch times. There will be no space for playing fields so the older children will have to be bused to somewhere where they can do PE.
