Demonstration planned for outside Tynwald this morning

Tuesday, 20 March 2012 00:00

Hordes of angry parents are expected to gather outside Government buildings this morning to carry on their demonstrations against cuts in pre school provision on the Island.

Today's Tynwald sitting will feature a raft of questions to both the Chief Minister and Education and Children Minister, geared toward getting updates on the current situation.

This is the second protest of this nature, with the first a month ago attracting over one hundred people.

Support has been drummed up through the facebook group, Save the Isle of Man's Nurseries and Pre School's; which currently has just shy of 2,000 members.

People will be gathering outside the building from 9.30.
