Petition to save a Victorian building - closes midday!

Gigagator · 18th March 2020, 09:10

Hi all,

Sorry to spam our community with this and it's probably against some rules of the forum but I would massively appreciate it if anybody here can sign this online petition before midday today:

https://www.assembly.wales/en/gethom...0JyT5ISgzD5WWc

It's a petition to save a beautiful old Victorian school building in the town of Cowbridge, South Wales. It used to be my old sixth form building and we were the last year group to use it in 2010 and it has lay dormant since.

A housing association want to flatten it completely and cram as many flats as they can onto the site.

It is of historical importance, being the first school in England and Wales to be built solely for the education of girls, opening back in 1898.

Most people believed it to be listed until it was proposed to demolish it.

The petition ends at midday today and you don't need to be a resident of the area or even of Wales to sign it.

Many thanks all.

Done, too many historical buildings are being demolished in my opinion.

Just signed too.
It looks like they have extended the deadline now, until noon 25th March.
Hopefully they can get more people to sign.
