"Leicester City Council are clearly worried about the political cost of defunding the residential department at Ash Field and so have taken the cynical and, frankly, cowardly option of avoiding a decision until the local elections have passed." #SaveAshFieldResi

Leicester and District Trades Council has written a statement to identify council candidates standing in the #May4 elections who will stand alongside trade unions & community campaigns to fight back against *all* cuts, including those at #AshFieldAcademy. docs.google.com/forms/d/12S3hy…

Thank you 🫶🏻

Some fantastic solidarity on the #JuniorDoctorsStrike picket line at the #LRI this morning. Many of the children who use the residential dept at Ash Field depend upon these professionals. We support their demand for better pay. Great to hear that they supported us as well.

A photo from the #AshFieldAcademy picket lines this morning. We are fighting for fair pay for support staff, but we are also fighting #Leicester City Council's plans to withdraw funding from our vitally needed residential department. Solidarity! #AshFieldStrikes #SaveAshFieldResi

Brilliant letter by a former Ash Field Academy student in today's #Leicester Mercury “The very idea that this should close is quite frankly outrageous! The closure of the residential department would be catastrophic for pupils their parent & carers." #SaveAshFieldResi #soulslby
