Fight to keep school for disabled children open
Parents on Wirral are battling to keep a school for severely disabled children open.
The local council announced late last year it was considering shutting Lyndale school, in Eastham. Education chiefs said this was due to a drop in pupil numbers and a change in funding.
Since then, parents have begun a campaign and say a petition to save the school has thousands of signatures.
Wirral council have started a consultation process. Parents though are determined to fight to keep Lyndale open. Many say they don't want their children to go anywhere else.
