Justice4Georges March

When the media is full of stories about apathy and lack of involvement, it is a real pleasure to see that the local community cares enough about an issue to stand up and do something about it. Everyone in Walkden and Little Hulton and indeed across Salford should stand up and applaud the four girls behind the Justice4George’s march which took place earlier today – what a terrific example they have set to their fellow pupils and local residents across the local area.

The march was a great success with around 2000 pupils, parents and residents showing their support. St George’s is an excellent school at the heart of the community and I am delighted that so many people from the local area sent a clear message to the Council that the school should remain open.
