Balanced reporting appreciated
From Liz Fewings, Oakhurst
I would just like to thank you for your fair and consistent coverage of the
Oakhurst school story.
The Link was the only publication that stayed objective and did not get
caught up in the hype over the faith school issue. I am really pleased
with the decision and look forward to seeing a successful community
primary school being established in the near future.
From Rick Kirk, Oakhurst
I along with many other parents would like to thank The Link for its con-
tinued support and the way it has championed our cause from the start
when no other part of the local media was interested.
