I was pleased to be part of the delegation that met with education minister Lord Hill to discuss an alternative approach now that the government has scrapped the Building Schools for the Future project. The delegation included four Liverpool MP’s and City Council Leader Joe Anderson.
We all expressed our extreme disappointment at the demise of the BSF project, which would have seen 26 city secondary schools share £350m to be rebuilt or refurbished. Six of these schools would have been in Liverpool Wavertree.
It is so important that the government recognize the need for us to build schools fit for purpose for our city and provide the transformational education that our children need.
I will continue to press the government on the need for new school buildings and fight to get the investment that our schools so desperately need.
