It shows that when we all pull in the same direction (almost) and utilise social networking, and write emails and letters and protest we can all be part of a change.
One battle from many, but teh followjg email to one writer says it all.

Quote:Dear Ms. Kennedy
Thank you for your e-mail of the 21st July regarding the South Yorkshire Archaeology Service.
I am pleased to be able to inform you that at today’s meeting of the South Yorkshire Leaders Group, the Leader of Sheffield Council announced a revised position, which was that of adhering to the original proposal of a 15% budget cut in 2011/12.
Kind regards.

Quote:Maybe too early but I feel it's right to acknowledge the efforts of friends whose efforts have brought to to the position we have reached today. A return to sanity. A recognition of the value of an archaeology service.
On a day when we said goodbye to Marek Zvelebil, an enthusiastic proponent of the value of archaeology, the decision here is welcome and heartfelt.
To all of you, a deep and sincere gratitude and thanks.
