§ Mr. Ben Chapman (Wirral, South)There is great concern in Wirral, South about the plans of the board of Wirral Metropolitan college to close the Carlett Park site. That facility is a highly prized asset to further education in the area, and my constituents are outraged at the prospect of its closure. The petition, containing some 7,000 signatures, calls for a review by the Further Education Funding Council of the decision by the board of Wirral Metropolitan college. It states:
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House shall urge the FEFC to consider the residents' plight and investigate the reasons for the closure of a much used and highly valued local education facility, without which further education in this part of the Wirral would surely suffer.And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
