Bletchey Park - site of national (UK) importance
------------------------------------------------

Written by Sue Gee   

The good news is that Bletchley Park - the site of code breaking 
operations during the second world war and where many of the first steps 
in the development of computing taken - has been awarded £250,000 by the 
UK Department of Culture, Media and Sport ( DCMS ). The funding is for 
urgent repairs so the down side of this news is that the historic site is 
still under supported and under valued - money for urgent repairs is 
hardly recognition of the site's unique place in modern history.

The grant will allow the Bletchley Park Trust to tackle a variety of badly 
needed works on the ageing site, including resurfacing pot-holed roads and 
car-parks and new roofs for the iconic but fragile codebreaking 
buildings..../snip/
