A LEADING figure in the fight to re-instate "Nitty Nora" has vowed she will continue her campaign.

Mrs Pat Mason, vice-chairman of Bury Community Health Council, is disappointed that more parents didn't attend last week's meeting at Radcliffe Hall CE and Methodist Primary School.

Some parents decided to end their campaign for the return of the head-lice nurse, and said they would explore other methods of tackling the problem affecting school children across the borough.

The meeting was attended by the Bury And Rochdale Health Authority Public Health Nurse, Mr Allan Silverwood, who gave a presentation on the measures which could be taken to tackle head lice. But it did not impress Mrs Mason.

"I thought more people would turn up considering our campaign was backed by about 800 people," said Mrs Mason.
