    Ushaw must be saved, its closure will be another sign of our Cathloic identity being lost.

    The most important part of the petition is missing: money. An offer of money is needed. Or, to entrust the whole place to a Catholic institution that can provide the money, such as the Knights of Columbus in the USA. Or alternatively, the offer to start a fund-raising campaign.

    Students based near the cathedral have to park their cars a considerable distance from colleges. They might prefer accommodation at Ushaw College where they can park nearby.

    A mini-bus would take students from Ushaw to university departments.

    The empty accommodation might also be suitable for armed services personnel suffering from stress.

    I was at Ushaw for nearly six years. I received a great education and had a lot of friends. It seems to me to be wrong to be closing such a beantiful set of buildings and the history contained within. Good luck with the campaign, my prayers are with you.
