I wanted to reply to Mr. Stack, but do not know if this will just turn into a Jerry Springer show. What should I do, leave it as it is? Or send a polite message to him to make it clear that we made this happen?

Whop is Mr Stack?

I did what any parent would do and it has been proved by the sugnature and comments that most of you feel the same way :)

Congrats 0n all your hard work & bringing it 2 other peoples notice. Well done.

I have been very disappointed by the letters the school have sent out. The letter in January said that the local County Councillors had "been informed" by the school when the reality was that we were already working on a permanent solution, and the school knew this! The inference to be drawn was that we had been "infomed" but that we were indifferent to the plight of the local community and that we were doing nothing, which is the complete opposite of the truth.

I have spent a lot of time of effort (more than anybody else) in getting a solution and keeping residents informed and yet today's letter from the school fails to name me while naming others.

The Crawley Observer reporting is poor and fails to mention that a solution was in hand. Today they are still tweeting as though nothing is being done, despite the fact I posted my blog article on Tuesday and have been tweeting and Facebooking about the tunnel for several weeks - and yes, they do follow me on Twitter but again like the school, they write as if I have done nothing.

I am very pleased at the outcome but not impressed with how some people have presented it. Thanks again for Hiba for the petiton which was very helpful for Network Rail to see the depth of local concerns about how long this had been going on, although I must stress we had been working on this for some time.

Well done for your good work.

Well done to you Hiba.

You have set a very good example on how to address such issues. It is just a pity that your head teacher and other senior members of Oriel have failed to prioritize this ongoing problem.

Good effort!

Hiya

could you email the plans to bryal012@oriel.w-sussex.sch.uk

thanks,

Sixth Form do not get ParentMail

Yay!! So pleased something is being done. Well done everybody who signed and thank you hiba for organising this!

Not a school parent so not on parentmail, but a regular tunnel user and would really like to see the plans - any chance you could post a link to them in this thread on the maidenbower online forum so other Maidenbower residents can see them, please?

Don't really want to post my email address as it'll get picked up by spam bots :(

Thanks!

Thank you for your efforts and all you have done to help resolve this issue.

Surely the petition was set up get the tunnel sorted and not for the glory of being the one who started it.
The letter from Mr Stack did thank all those involved in bringing this issue to the fore and for the resolution it has produced. Power to the people!!!!

Well done Hiba.........Excellant job !!
