As you know, we managed to collect over 500 signatures in just a few weeks on our previous petition - asking Worthing High to provide a financial analysis for their academy proposal and a full, meaningful consultation. This petition was ignored by the Head and Governors.
So we have now set up an 'official' West Sussex County Council petition, asking the CC to stop their current academies programme in the light of the sham consultation and poor management of the conversion at Worthing High. You must either work, study or live in West Sussex to be eligible to sign the petition and have to provide a West Sussex postcode to be valid.
Our aim is to get 3,000 signatures this time, which will force a debate at a Full County Council meeting. In order to meet this target, we really need all of you to get behind promotion of the petition. Please use email, facebook, twitter, other social media and word of mouth to let your friends and colleagues know about the petition. This is something we can all focus on over the summer break. We also plan to get back out in to the town centre to canvas and get paper petition signatures.
Here's the petition link:
Let's get cracking!
And hoping to see lots of you at the public meeting next Thursday 26th July 7.30pm at Cricket Club, Manor Sports Ground, Broadwater.
