HC Deb 17 March 1972 vol 833 cc188-9W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what school buildings in the Ashton-under-Lyne, Droylsden and Mossley areas are accepted to be unsatisfactory by her; and what action is being taken.

Mr. van Straubenzee

A list of schools provided by the Lancashire Local Education Authority in May, 1970, contained nine primary schools in Division 24—Ashton-under-Lyne, Droylsden, Mossley, Audenshaw and Denton—which the authority regarded as wholly or partly in need of replacement. They are as follows:

  • Ashton-under-Lyne, Cockbrook C.E.
  • Ashton-under-Lyne, Hurst County.
  • Ashton-under-Lyne, Parochial C.E.
  • Ashton-under-Lyne, St. James' C.E.
  • Ashton-under-Lyne, St. Peter's C.E.
  • Audenshaw C.E.
  • Denton, Russell Scott County.
  • Denton, Christchurch C.E.
  • Denton, St. Anne's County.

The authority has not yet proposed these schools for replacement or improvement in a major building programme.

No secondary schools in Division 24 were regarded by the authority as wholly or partly in need of replacement.
