Save Newcastle Hall Petition Hand-In

We were a bit windswept, but it was the Council that were blown away when we gave them 13,000 signatures in support of Newcastle City Hall.

Tyne Tees TV's report is here: http://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/story/2013-01-31/save-the-city-hall-campaign/

And we're also on Sky Tyne and Wear, with Cllr Veronica Dunn. So, Newcastle City Council says here that they will work with the users of Newcastle City Hall. That's us, the people. Let's see if we can now find a way forward. http://tyneandwear.sky.com/news/article/55062

Thanks to all who have signed and shared the petition, which remains open. The petition will also be formally submitted to a full council meeting in the Council chamber next week.

With best wishes and fingers crossed for a positive future for Newcastle City Hall,
