THE News Shopper campaign to save Bromley Youth Music Trust (BYMT) has got off to a flying start.
Many of you have written in pledging your support for the campaign and asking us to keep up the good work. We will of course be doing this and in the future, we hope to get some answers as to why Bromley education is one of the first services to suffer from brutal cuts despite Council Tax going up.
Among the letters we received was one from George Ralph who writes: "The educational value of this facility to thousands of young people in Bromley is immense and can't be measured in money terms."
William and Kathryn Peneycad also commented. In their letter, they said: "It is not just the music trust which suffers from the cuts but all the people they teach and the people they entertain."
Several schools have also pledged support to keep the BYMT alive in the community. If you want to give your opinion write to: Patrick John, News Shopper, Mega House, Crest View Drive, Petts Wood, Orpington, BR5 1BT.
