Protest at Worcester Tech Nursery Closure

Hive-Worcester

FIFTY protesters gathered to show their anger at plans to close a college nursery.

The group – made up of parents, their children and union members – sat on the grass outside Worcester College of Technology to express their displeasure at plans to shut the on-site nursery provision.

The college says it can no longer afford to pay almost £250,000 a year to provide 80 places for students’ children at the nursery, given the cuts in its Government funding.

The closure and changes to the refectory could result in 50 job losses.
