A long-awaited new secondary school for Radcliffe is set to clear another hurdle with Bury Council agreeing to pay for an access road.
The council is set to agree later this week to cover the costs of an access road to north of the site, known as Coney Green, off Spring Lane.
Last November the council agreed to transfer the site to the Department for Education (DfE) and Star Academy Trust, who will operate the school. At that time the council said the decision would ‘unlock the delivery of a new secondary school for Radcliffe’.
A report to Bury Council’s cabinet, who will meet tomorrow (July 13), said that a feasibility study conducted earlier this year by the DfE had now ‘produced high level plans for the school, determined site layouts, including the access road, and from that determined an outline programme for construction of the new school, together with indicative costs’.
