The axe is lifted...

In March, Camborne Science & Community College, Pool Business & Enterprise College, Redruth School, Humphry Davy School, Poltair School and Curnow Special School were all promised they would share in £69million from the government's Building Schools for the Future programme. All six schools were to have been rebuilt or refurbished.

Now, no-one I speak to really believes the schools will see a penny. A comprehensive spending review is expected to scrap the scheme by the autumn. The Conservatives on their own do not have a Parliamentary majority for cutting schools' spending. I look forward to hearing from Cornwall's three Liberal Democrat MPs about how they plan to vote on this issue in the months ahead.
