Fence to keep out primary school vandals
8:27am Sunday 27th January 2008
Comments (12)A PRIMARY school has been given permission to put up fences around its playground.
Governors of Egerton Primary School, in Cox Green Road, Egerton, hope the fence will improve security for pupils and keep out vandals.
Brian Clough, the school's agent, told councillors on the planning committee: "There are four points of public access and we want to improve security for the children.
"We have had a number of incidents of vandalism, as well as problems with dog fouling, litter and broken glass.
"Outdoor activities was the only section of an Ofsted report in which the school fell below outstanding, so this needs to be addressed."
Councillors approved the application.
Cllr Norman Critchley said: "This must be one of the only schools in Bolton that does not have an adequate fence and one is urgently needed."
And Cllr Andy Morgan said: "There are also plans to put in a vegetable plot, which helps with the healthy schools initiative."

Did see the news this morning,
Still at it in kenya /
palastine you know the ones who belong to the same race and kill each other,
religion who needs it,
The cause of all wars,
I agree with you on one thing we need to keep kids safe,
A bit awkward when you and so many dogooders protecting the criminals instead or meeting out the right sentences,
But know doubt you will keep sticking up for them poor little loves.

Only reiterateing what i have seen,
Also just read the morning paper over 600 people leaving the UK every week
Reasons given to much crime to much tax to many immigrants coming in,
And to little being done by this goverment to halt it,
Are they wrong as well,
Get real andrew many can see it others like you are blind,
Still live with the old call please teacher he wont give me my ball back,
Keep dreaming bury boy
it will come even if you dont belive it will.

And Cllr Andy Morgan said: "There are also plans to put in a vegetable plot, which helps with the healthy schools initiative."

Andrew declen ragreader eric and the likes ready grown vegetables here,
Will this fence be like the one that residents whinged at and will have to be taken down,
Just shoot the scrotes that will stop the vandalism or fine the parents of these scrotes no probably not you would have to give them more benefits.
