It’s really important that #calne residents read @wiltscouncil proposals for potential development around the town over the next sixteen years. Potentially large developments on all sides of the town. To be discussed at next week’s cabinet meeting.@CalneNews @ShoutOutCalne

Our schools will remain open and if they try to shut them in the future we will campaign again! In the meantime we are looking forward to working with the Council to create an amazing three site school suitable for all our children. #keepspecialschoolslocal

Thank goodness this has been highlighted! How many more of our most vulnerable people are being treated like this? It’s a scary thought!
Olivia spent over two months secretly filming inside a specialist hospital in County Durham and revealed adults with learning disabilities or autism being mocked, intimidated and restrained. How did she feel going undercover and how did she deal with the abuse she witnessed?
