53 karen mackieI am fighting to save drummond c h school and we as parents will not rest until this decision is reversed.
54 Sean Humphreys
55 Doug Stanhopethe SNP should be embarrassed by this - they should leave the coalition with the LibDems immediately
56 Malcolm Chisholm
57 Naomi SalisburyClosing down good local schools and community centres hits at the heart of communities who have worked so hard for them.
58 Kenryck Lloyd-JonesAs until recently, a long time resident of edinburgh - I'm apalled at the shabby way in which the current ruling coalition is pushing ahead with cuts without full and extensive negotiation with parents about the future for education in edinburgh
59 Andrew DicksonThis proposal is an absolute disgrace. As a child I attended Abbeyhill Primary which is on the closure list. It is an excellent community school. What do these incompetent idiots think they are playing at.
60 Andrew Burns
61 Nahid AslamDrummond is a good school. It should not be closed down. Also the other schools should remain functioning too!
62 Mohammed Aslam
63 Jamila Aslam
64 Tom BrechneyThis is irresponsible and needs further consultation before ANY decision is taken.
65 Ros MarshallI am particularly interested in nursery education, but am against to all the cuts. I can't understand how cuts within the early years sector can be linked to a national policy of improving nursery education.

69 Judy RogersPlease stop and think again. Our youngsters are the future and their well being and education should be above price. A number of the schools and centres are the centre of those communities, we shoul/could be encouraging further use Not closure. In these days of mixed race, religion, backgrounds etc surely it is time to think again.

76 sharon thomsonSave Westfield Court Nursery, Centre of Excellence and strong communitiy attachment. Our kids thrive at this nursery it's an absolute wonderul place to be and one of the councils biggest successes for decades - why close the door on success??? Celebrate it's achievements

79 Jane WatsonThese school closures are not in the best interests of children or parents nor are they for educational reasons. This abandons the concept of early intervention and reducing full time nursery places will put many vulnerable children at risk.
80 AnonymousOur local school is OK under these plans, but I still support this petition.. unlike the Liberal/SNP councilors, I care about the future of our city! The nursery school proposals are particularly mad, when parents in the city have to use private suppliers because the council nurseries can't give us the places we need... even before they cut places.

82 Christine RichardWe need to invest in the future of children - not disrupt their school lives. Community centres generally give help and support to the more vulnerable people in communities - these proposals are particularly heartless.

86 Rebecca InnesI feel that the loss of these schools will be a huge loss to there local communities and a huge loss to Edinburgh as a whole and would therefore be a mistake.
87 Mary McDougall
88 Prof Jo CliffordThis is a destructive and ill thought move, that will cause great damage to children's education and to local communities throughout Edinburgh
89 Peter Sharmaclearly not thought through and shows the ineptitude and lack of public awareness by the Lib Dem /SNP administration running this city
90 Val Boorman
91 Vikki SpenceMy elder daughter has just started school at a primary not listed for closure, but which will be expected to more than double its roll to take the children from the neighbouring school which is closing. I applied out of catchment for this school because of its high staff-pupil ratio. That will be lost if it changes to full class sizes, and the level of individual teaching currently enjoyed by pupils in the majority of schools in Edinburgh will end.

98 Mark Lazarowicz MPThese cuts and closures are neither justified or necessary. I urge the Council to think again. If you're running a campaign against these cuts and closures in the Edinburgh North & Leith constituency where I am the MP, send me details of your local campaign to: lazarowiczm@parliament.uk
