Description

Pupils of Dulverton Junior School, Bexley, London have created a campaign protest song (excerpt heard) against the bulldozing of their school along with linked nursery, infant and primary schools, to make way for the high speed Channel Tunnel rail link. They hope to get a record company interested. Local action group leader Audrey Shanks(?) says parents are very worried. Iain Ramage reports for Update programme.
