The action group to save Sneyd School met yesterday evening to draw up battle lines in the fight to keep 11-19 education on the Sneyd School site.

The message  coming out of this meeting was loud and clear, “We ain’t going away, we won’t stop till we’ve achieved our collective goal of keeping Sneyd open to provide education for the full age range 11-19 along with community facilities to  the local area reports Liberal Democrat councillor Ian Shires.

The first salvo in the battle will be a public meeting at the School in Vernon Way, Bloxwich. The meeting will take place Thursday 30th April and starts at 7pm. It is open to everyone who has an interest in the future of Sneyd School.

So, if you live in Willenhall North, Bloxwich West, whether you are a parent with a child at the school or at one of the many primary schools which feed into Sneyd, a pupil at Sneyd or simply live in the area, you need to be there if you possibly can as the decision taken last week by Walsall Council’s Cabinet directly affect you and yours.

The cabinet member responsible for education in Walsall cllr Zahid Ali has agreed to meet with the members of the action group prior to Thursday’s meeting and has said he will attend the meeting at 7pm.

The meeting will be an opportunity to get up to date with what has happened and how it effects you and will give you a say in the fight to save Sneyd.
