COST OF THE CO-LOCATION OF SHREWSBURY SIXTH FORM COLLEGE AND SHREWSBURY COLLEGE OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY

That this House expresses its concern that £2,084,209 million has been spent so far on architects, traffic consultants, engineers and other specialists' fees for the co-location of Shrewsbury Sixth Form College (SSFC) and Shrewsbury College of Art and Technology; and calls on the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) and the governing body of SSFC to re-consider co-location before any more taxpayers' money is wasted on this unwanted project; and urges the principals to do what they should have done from the start which is to seek funding from the LSC for modernisation and development of both colleges on their separate existing sites.
