As a Dad, making sure my children had the best education and opportunities was a priority and I know that parents and grandparents across Tamworth and the villages want the same for their families.
And I’m sure many people across Tamworth are keen to know what’s going on behind the hoarding in St.Editha’s square! So last week I went for a behind the scenes look at the progress of the new South Staffordshire College site in Tamworth - The new college will provide a high-quality teaching and learning environment with a mix of classrooms, specialist workshops, labs and study spaces. There will also be teaching spaces for catering, hospitality and hair and beauty salons which will be open to the public.
Over the next few months you will start to see the building taking shape and I’m looking forward to see the project progress.
I’m continuing to work with Claire Boliver and her team to make sure that young people in Tamworth can get the skills and opportunities they need to have the best possible start to their studies and working life.
