Frustration at delay to school funding bid - Beith

March 31, 2010 12:00 AM

Sir Alan Beith has promised to keep up the pressure for the funding for replacement school buildings for Alnwick after the County Council's bid for exceptional funding has been put on hold by senior civil servants.

Sir Alan said

"Although it is frustrating not to be making faster progress, which I suspect is because civil servants are nervous of making financial commitments in the run up to an election, there is at last a real understanding that the Duchess's Community High School needs to be replaced. I will be banging on the door of whoever is the Schools Minister straight after the election."

    If you are a resident of the Berwick-upon-Tweed constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
