Zahid Shah is interviewed by BBC's Andy Silk

BBC Radio WM's morning news bulletins (Thursday 5th March 2009) lead with their reports about the neglect of the former Farndale school as first revealed in a St Peter's Ward Focus. Reporter Andy Silk interviewed St Peter's campaigner, Zahid Shah, who explained how the school had closed about five years ago and sold to a developer over two years ago. The developer has left the site totally insecure and Zahid told Andy Silk how boarding over the doors had been removed by vandals or squatters and that there was a fresh heap of drug needles left lying around.

After the interview with Zahid Andy Silk said nobody from Wolverhampton Council would comment but they had issued a statement saying that would make the site secure and charge the owners.
