Austerity has consequence's, cuts to Council and School budgets over the 14 years of a Tory Government has led to Schools crumbling before our very eyes in 2024. We ask that the Government foot the bill for the repairs to schools in North Tyneside and that is done ASAP to stop the disruption for our young people and our staff
Why is this important?
The Department for Education must foot the bill for the repairs. Council receives approx £3million for school budgets, to rebuild a school like Churchill Community College will cost approx £25million plus another 3 schools in the borough also need repairing. This will almost inevitably impact on our children in the future as Council and school budgets are all at breaking point.
