It may be the school holidays but campaigners are still working hard to highlight their fight to save three schools from closure.
Parents, staff and children from Ridge Meadow and St John’s Infant schools in Chatham and St Peter’s Infants, Rochester, gathered at Capstone Farm Country Park, Chatham, for a picnic, many of them wearing Save Our School T-shirts in a bid to make the public aware of their campaign.
Medway Council plans to close the three schools because of surplus primary school places and transform primary education in Medway with £11 million government funding.
A six-week public consultation, which ended on July 22, resulted in thousands of letters and consultation papers opposing the plans being sent to the council.
