SALFORD SAVE OUR NURSERIES CAMPAIGN FAMILY FUN DAY
 

Star date: 24th June 2018

CAR BOOT AND KIDS' FUN IN BUILE HILL PARK

Save Our Nurseries Family Fun Day/Car Boot Sale
Sunday 1st July Car boot 10am-2pm/Fun Day 12 noon-4pm
Buile Hill Park

The Salford Save Our Nurseries Campaign is having a car boot sale followed by a Family Fun Day next Sunday to raise funds for the next stage of the fight to save the city's five outstanding Council run nurseries.

Full details here...


The fight to Save Our Nurseries is alive and ready to keep kicking as a response is awaited from the Government over flexibility for its early years funding formula that could mean the closure of the city's five OFSTED rated outstanding nurseries. 

Salford Council has found an extra £1.5million funding until next summer but after that the nurseries will be in peril unless the Government steps in. 

"As foster carer for Salford I have been fortunate to use the nursery at Little Hulton for four children I have cared for in the last five years, all these children had emotional issues" says foster carer Martin Rosenfield "The skills and care provided by the staff was essential for the children to thrive. If these outstanding local authority nurseries close, I don't think I could find a private nursery in my area with the skilled staff to care for the children I look after."

While Salford City Council's consultation on the future of the nurseries closes tomorrow, Monday 25th June at midnight*, next Sunday 1st July will see a day of fun and fundraising for the ongoing campaign to save the nurseries.

The day, at Buile Hill Park, begins with a car boot sale from 10am until 2pm**, and that's followed in Buile Hill Park Hall by a family friendly Fun Day from noon until 4pm with, amongst other attractions, the Silly Milly and Jolly Mandy Show plus face painting, a bouncy castle, pre-loved book and toy stalls, a tombola and much more.

"I hope many people will come along to support the Family Fun Day" says Barbara Keeley, MP for Worsley and Eccles South "The Campaign is to make sure we keep our five fantastic local authority-run day nurseries and we need the community to support this important fight."

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

Star date: 17th May 2021

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Today, the Salford Star shuts down but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account.

We are almost at the final closure of the Salford Star but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account. 

They will try to discredit you, block information and shut you down. In South America they just blow up the offices of journalists that don't play the game. Here they just financially assassinate you...

SALFORD STAR CLOSURE – GUY GRIFFITHS ON THE HUMAN COST OF PATHFINDER DEMOLITIONS

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
