Secondary Education In Powys

EDM number 886 in 2014-15, proposed by Roger Williams on 17/03/2015.
Categorised under the topic of Schools.

That this House views with concern the proposals of Powys County Council to close secondary schools and sixth forms in Brecon and Radnorshire; notes that closing schools will add to the cost of transport and very long journey times for pupils; believes that many pupils will opt to be educated across the border in England because of travel times; and urges Powys County Council to commission a re-assessment of secondary education right across the county and to defer any decision-making until all the consequences of those proposals have been fully considered.

This motion has been signed by a total of 3 MPs.
