Tamworth Borough Council has now completed the demolition of the old Co-op department store on College Lane. So I met with Claire Boliver, Principal of South Staffordshire College to find out more about their plan for the new town centre college site!
The new college brings an additional £21million investment to the Future High Streets Fund projects in Tamworth, which will help to transform the town centre into the busy, thriving heart of the community.
College contractors have already begun work to build the new college facility, which delivers a combined investment of over £40million in Tamworth town centre.
South Staffordshire College are planning to begin teaching on the new site in January 2025 - so students who enrol this September will be working and learning in the brand new building in their 2nd year of studies!
