AS a parent of a child attending the Hurst school, I would like to thank Mrs Kath Sharples for her tireless campaign against the proposal to build the new school adjacent to the Scott Clinic.

I would go so far as to say that without the the work that Kath did arranging interviews, spending hours making telephone calls and writing numerous letters, we would probably still be fighting the cause. So many thanks Kath!

I would also like to thank the Education Authority for listening to parents' views, doubts and arguments, which caused them to rapidly reject the proposed developement and search for a new, more suitable site.

GRATEFUL and relieved parent (name & address supplied).
