Alice Ingham RC School saved!

The decision to keep the school open will be ratified at the next meeting of Rochdale's Cabinet. This is a complete turnaround, the U-turn which has delighted residents came after the new Lib Dem Administration refused to back Labour and Conservative plans to close the school.
