Calling for Forth Valley College’s Clackmannanshire Campus in Alloa to be Kept Open

Lodged by Keith Brown (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes with deep concern proposals from Forth Valley College, which could see its Clackmannanshire campus in Alloa close; believes that access to further education is vital for young people, working adults and families across Clackmannanshire; understands that when the merger creating Forth Valley College was agreed, there was an “absolute commitment” to maintain a strong presence in Clackmannanshire; believes that reducing provision in Clackmannanshire would represent a major setback for the area, particularly given the population growth, limited public transport links and the wider economic challenges facing the area; acknowledges the contribution of staff and students at the Alloa campus to the community and local economy; understands that uncertainty over the future of the campus is causing significant anxiety for staff, students and families, and calls on Forth Valley College and all partners to work together to secure a sustainable solution that safeguards jobs and protects the future of further education provision in Clackmannanshire.
