University Skips Common Sense
University bosses have been forced to back down on a decision to ban Norris Skips from the grounds of Greenwich University.
Norris Skips were banned because the firm share the surname as one of the five men accused of murdering black teenager, Stephen Lawrence in nearby Eltham in April 1993.
The original decision to ban Norris Skips was seen as political correctness gone mad and was labelled as ‘over-sensitive’ by local MP, Derek Conway.
Stephen Lawrence’s mother, Doreen, has strong links with the University and achieved a BA Honours degree in Humanities in 1995. In 1997 she also completed a post-graduate programme in Counselling Skills and in 1999 was awarded a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Kieron Norris, manager of Peter Norris Haulage Ltd, stated that the situation has now been resolved and his company has since been allowed back onto the site to complete its £30,000 job.
Bosses at the University refused to comment.
