Putney School of Art expansion

It's great to see that Putney School of Art in Oxford Road is set to expand after submitting a bid for Government Learning & Skills Council funding.

It's also good to see Wandsworth Council celebrating this success - not least given that not that long ago they tried to close Putney School of Art down: only thwarted by a spectacular groundswell of local opposition from the local community.

I'm reminded of the saying about there being no-one quite as enthusiastic as a sinner who repents. Let's hope the bid is successful, and that this kicks into touch forever any attempts by the Conservatives to close Putney School of Art and replace it with another luxury apartment building.
