They've sent around an email about it wanting people to support it. I believe they're a group of parents from Southwark who are quite an active group. From their website it says they have put in a submission to Lambeth's public consultation for the Shelley Site on 14th July.anonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348106198969670880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614832110829270140.post-73736143548700379942011-07-16T15:41:29.905+01:002011-07-16T15:41:29.905+01:00Agreed.
