06/03/08: Holborn and St. Pancras Secondary School Campaign Important Update
Dear Campaigners
Below is a public announcement made by Ed Balls MP on Friday 29th Feb. This is the first public commitment by the government to directly address our local need for a school south of the Euston Rd. It comes as the result of two years of persistent lobbying by parents, local councilors and our MP Frank Dobson and, whilst we have our work cut out to keep up pressure on central and local government to ensure this results in the school we want for our community, it represents a significant achievement for our campaign.
05/03/08: Healthcare for Londoners - Important Changes to the location and practice of your GP
The NHS are considering that it might be better for your GP to deliver services via a Polyclinic - namely a very large clinic that caters for a much wider geographic area. This means closing down the traditional smaller practice. A number of these in Bloomsbury are earmarked to be moved to a Polyclinic.
