| 103 | Brendan Murphy | Replacing arts with McJobs training? What happened to learning something for the pleasure of it rather than its importance to local business?
FIGHT THE CUTBACKS - SAVE LAEC! |

| 108 | Toby Savage | This is disgraceful. Yet another blow to the middle classes. One day we'll all be gone and you can have what's left of the city to yourselves. Good luck! |

| 110 | Justin Meggitt | This action by LAEC management is a sad example of incompetence and doublespeak. Non-vocational courses are vital to the health of any adult educational programme. |

| 114 | Theresa Aspinall | The centre has been used over the years by many generations and future generations will miss out if the courses are carved up and scattered around the city. This is shortsighted planning in my view and will be regretted in the future. Please consider all the options and reasoning behind this planning and not just the money that supposedly will be saved. Privatisation is not always the answer and can cause many more problems later. |

| 119 | Lindsay Jelley (Artist) | I owe my present career to LAEC, where I started taking adult art classes in a number of disciplines. I am now a full time practicing artist based in Leicester. I am also about to complete an MA in Fine Art with Nottingham Trent University. The college offers a unique and valuable service. |

| 122 | Deborah Green | This is clearly another example of the 'mushroom treatment' for those in the arts. Money for education is going from broadening the horizons of the indigenous population (my ceramics classes have disappeared) and being lavished on economic migrants. British people feel betrayed. |

| 124 | Eugene Adam | I'm in the IWW and fully back the staff and students at LAEC. However, in response to the nationalistic twaddle from petition signer No. 122, you should know that the IWW is an international union which organises both native and migrant workers from anywhere in the world. We believe that workers need to stick together, wherever they may come from, if we wish to have any chance of success. Your chauvinistic divide and rule comment is exactly the kind of thing we don't need, thank you very much. |

| 132 | Helen Brewin | A city-centre venue is accessible by one bus journey from anywhere in the county.Outreach centres may require two or more buses.
There was constant cross-fertilization of ideas between the great variety of decorative and fine arts classes formerly taught at LAEC,providing a great breadth of education.
All students had the chance to exhibit their work , both throughout the year in the display cases and at
the annual Open and City and Guilds exhibitions. This was a considerable source of pride to many and frequently a 'confidence booster'
The reduction in variety of courses and the dispersal of the remaining ones are bound to lead to lowered self-esteem both for staff and students. Can this be an aim in Education?. |
| 133 | Steve Tibbetts | It is a disgrace that the LAEC arts provision is being being run down in favour of a welfare to work scheme which could be housed almost anywhere.
I for one will be at the public meeting. |

| 136 | Emma Mealing | I'm very unhappy to hear that yet another art room at LAEC has been withdrawn. This is a big loss for Leicester Arts in general. The staff at LAEC provide a great service to so many people in the community, and it would be devastating to see it close down. |

| 146 | farzana | I am for education as it is the step ladder to employment. I would be willing to take on some volunatry work to help keep leicester education open and even improve it. |
