Some time ago, a thread was started regarding Arecibo & I believe, there was a spin-off regarding Jodrell Bank.

A link was provided to petition the UK government to save Jodrell Bank, to which I added my name.

Just received an e-mail from 10 Downing Street confirming Jodrell Bank's continued existence. Let's all hope that the US government can follow suit with the continued existence of Arecibo.

Thanks "Doc". I know that we, this side of the pond can't help with Arecibo. However, if someone can copy the link provided & send to their congressman/woman with the provisio that the "Lousy Brits" are putting us to shame, maybe something might happen, who knows?

I got my e-mail today and was most pleased.

I don't live there anymore and avoid getting involved with the politics, but sometimes I have to put my British Citizenship to use even though I am on the wrong side of the pond.

Only just got back home from business trip and read the response from No. 10. Glad someone else had also seen and posted here.

Have to raise question if this should be on Seti science board as I assume Jodrell Bank would be one of the resources used to confirm any findings of ET we might make.
