Thank you to those who attended Friday’s public meeting in South Cerney to hear Lake 12 Partnership’s proposals for the Outdoor Education Centre.  The next stage in the campaign will be the meeting of the County Council at Shire Hall on Wednesday 18 May when the petition that has been put together and signed by more than 5000 people will be presented to the councillors and be subject of a short debate.  If anyone can attend the meeting that would be great but I appreciate it is during the day time.

We are told that the following day, Cllr Will Windsor-Clive will announce the Council’s decision and what it’s process for disposal of the five youth centres will be. Then some frantic work will need to be done to submit a fully costed bid to explain how this important asset can be run “by the people, for the people” and not by big business for the benefit of shareholders.  I will keep you posted as soon as we have any details.

Thank you for your support so far.
