Five more parents have joined a sit-in at a Lanarkshire school despite a dawn raid by council staff and police.
A father and grandfather were occupying Gartsherrie Primary School in Coatbridge until yesterday when officers broke into the building.
But the 4am raid made campaigners more determined to sit tight and as a result extra people have joined the protest.
Kirk Elwood, 48, said the campaigners were determined not to move.
He said: “We are sitting tight.”
More than 20 police entered the school at 11pm last night to lockdown the building, including barring access to toilets.
Protesters are fighting the decision by North Lanarkshire Council to shut Gartsherrie school.
It is one of four schools axed by the council which has blamed falling role numbers.
