I am currently researching the life of Winfried Atwell and wonder if there is anyone who may have known Mrs Atwell?

Many Thanks,

Jodie

Even when the waiting time reaches the council’s target of ten minutes, they should consider the time and effort it takes for a parent to bring her child there in the first place. In total it can be a long day out, involving hassle, public transport, and re-arrangement of appointments. With this in mind, even ten minutes’ play makes the whole experience easier for both child and parent. I think we should also be realistic about the waiting time anyway; it may not get better soon. Facilities like this should be the norm in such public buildings – they should be tailored to the needs of those who use them most, which is often lone mothers managing busy lives singlehanded. We should think of who this building is named after, and who she fought for.
