Meeting to be held over pre-school row A SPECIAL meeting has been requested to try and resolve the situation surrounding a Coalpit Heath pre-school’s use of the village’s Manor Hall. The trustees who manage the hall received the request after they gave Manor Hall Pre-School notice to quit the premises at the end of the current academic year. As reported in last month’s Frome Valley Voice, the trustees cited “unresolved differences” between itself and the pre-school for the action taken. It led to a campaign by parents and supporters to save the pre-school, with a petition signed by hundreds of people. No date for the meeting has yet been held but it is likely to be convened some time this month. Full story: Page 6
