I think the proposed closure of St Matthew's primary school is a disgrace. The children in Craigneuk and Wishawhill deserve a school in the heart of their community where they can fell safe and secure. The local government are disregarding local peoples views. Under the Tory government of Margaret Thatcher they closed Ravenscraig despite the Craig breaking all records for production. They put a lot of families out of work and they did not care. We have started to pick ourselves up from this and now our own local government which is made up of local councillors has now tried to put the death knell back on our community by proposing to close our school. It is time the community told them to back off. We have took enough knock downs. The people in this area deserve a break - imagine expecting young children from 4+ to travel a couple of miles to another school. They would feel more isolated as they would be going to another area that they did not know and they would not have the luxury of going home at lunchtime if they wanted to. The council have stated they would be able to enjoy extra curicular activities - our children would not be able to take part as they would need to get their bus home. Everyone in the community needs to get behind this group and show their support - SAVE ST MATTHEW'S SCHOOL - for our children and children's children. There has been a catholic school in this area for over 110 years, are we going to let them take the heart out of our community.

As Christmas is upon us, Mr Scrooge has raised his head to the community of Craigneuk and Wishawhill. As the three ghosts line up to play their part: the ghost of councils past and present dictate no future for our community. Mr Scrooge has the purse strings and the purse is tightly closed. We are shown the future as being very bleak, as our School is under threat due to the keepers of the purse thinking of the mighty buck over Tiny Tim's future, and the future of his family, our community.
Christmas present is a financial struggle looking for jobs in the streets of Wishaw, like scraps of food for the hungry, not finding a crumb.
In this economic climate they are still spending money to the detriment of our wee school, on flowers and plants in a place that is as derelict as the desert. Like putting a white dress on a dirty child. Again our community is the scape goat. What is going to happen? Are they going to keep going until our community is nothing but empty land! Who will be next in line for the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and No Future.

I totally agree with Mags, is seems that the council have already made their mind up without consultation. They do not care about the community ort the family impact. i lived down south for a number of years and in several different counties and i can sincerely say that North Lanarkshire Council rates as the worst of the lot

Save St.Matthews Primary School!
Show your support and post your thoughts on the St. Matthews Primary School situation here.
Added 12-09-2009
Reply From: Christine McGeechan , Wishaw
Give St Matthews Primary you're support, it,s a great wee school with a terrific education curriculum, the HMIE report which was done in 2007 states so, we dont want to put children 5 & under on school buses, our children should be able to go to school in their own community, and what about the parish, these children all know Father Chromy, he visits the schol regularly & has a great rapport with the children, i say Learning & Leisure could save the money else where, & leave our School, we are going to be going door to door soon to ask the people of craigneuk & wishawhill if they will sign letters we have printed out, so if we come to you're door anyone that can write their name, even p1 then please please give us you're support, these children don't want to go to a strange area or school, email the Learning & leisure at stmatthewsconsultation@northlan.gov.uk. the more the merrier. Save Our School.

Will we get snow this Christmas?
Really looking forward to Christmas but the past couple of days have seen rain rain and oh yes more rain!
I am praying for a white Christmas :)
I am also pleased that the council have put free parking in place for the normally overpriced car parks to help with the Christmas rush.
Let it snow!

Added 11-05-2009
Reply From: Ned Gray , Craigneuk
Its ridiculous that St Matts is shutting, this is the School I attended and plays an important part in the area. My son currently attends this school.
More council cutbacks, its shocking, nobody is happy

Does is cost anything to advertise in the local ads section?
Added 07-04-2009
Reply From: Stuart , Wishaw
Hi Kiaran,
It is completely free for people to advertise things for sale for all private sales including car sales up to £1000.
This is an excellent way to make money from your unwated items around the house.
Thanks
Stuart
