ALL right, I've said it before, but it's still going on – to the tune of £3,000 a week for security.

So that's at least £250,000 since it was abandoned. You know the councillors are not of this planet and can't do sums, but you might try telling them on the petition on the Friends of the Wilderness website that you would like this charity to take it off their hands to save ratepayers' money on keeping the building secure.

All the other things about educating our children they don't understand, so don't try and reason with them.

It won't work. Just tell them you won't vote for them unless they return our Wilderness Centre back to us.
