Lo speaks on Tor Bank School and Lagan College in the Assembly
20/10/09
Anna Lo MLA proposed an adjournment debate in the Northern Ireland Assembly on Monday 19th October focusing on the delays faced by Lagan College and Tor Bank School in expanding their premises:Speaking in the debate, Anna said:
"The delays are having a detrimental effect on the college’s operation and planning. The site and building were designed to accommodate 600 students; the current enrolment is 1,230."
"The whole situation is totally unacceptable. Lagan College needs those buildings now. Parents send their children to the college in good faith and in the expectation that the building will be completed. Many staff have spent untold hours at meetings and feel utter frustration because of the continual delays. The Department selected Lagan College for this unbelievably complex process, and it is essential that the Department now works closely with the college to draw up an agreed timetable for completion so that staff can plan with those dates in mind. The pupils deserve a proper school building that is fit for purpose."
