MP writes to save nursery

Sheila Gilmore MP has written to city education leader Councillor Marilyne McLaren, criticising the proposal to close High School Yards nursery school.

Ms Gilmore said she had visited the nursery and disputed suggestions it was badly laid out and not suitable for future use.

"Whilst I understand that the nursery may need future works I do not believe that these reasons are convincing enough for closure," she wrote.
