Another milestone tonight in the developments around Preston Park - the protest group that developed out of the threat by the Tory/Labour coalition cabinet in Stockton Council to build a secondary school in the park transformed itself. Protect Preston Park, having won the battles of last year, formally became Friends of Preston Park at its AGM tonight. It was a smaller, lower key meeting than the one in All Saints Church last year which gave birth to the group but it was just as significant. Now there's a group aiming to be a voice for the community in all the developments in the Park.
Dari Taylor had no idea what a sense of community action she was going to unleash when she wrote that fateful letter in 2009.

Why should Ingleby kids have to be bussed off the estate when Yarm has 2 senior schools and not enough kids to fill them?
Preston Park was suggested as a venue and was a legitimate option, happily it was spared, but long term I can see no reason why Egglescliffe school shouldn't be closed down.
