Nursery site fight toddles to Holyrood

PARENTS angry over a decision to shut a children's nursery and move it into what they claim is a "pub" have taken their protest to parliament.

Almost 40 children aged between two and five will receive their pre-school education inside Dalkeith Miners Club under the plan.

Around 40 parents and children travelled to Holyrood to hand a 1000-word petition over to Midlothian North and Musselburgh MSP, Colin Beattie, in a bid to secure a suitable alternative venue.
