At a meeting of the cabinet today (May 26), members agreed unanimously to use money from the capital programme to replace the prefabricated buildings currently used by children in Birchwood Grove Road.

With planning applications due to be submitted in November, the new college is scheduled to open by May 2023 - though many hope it will be sooner.
