Rejected petition CBC to unpause the schools for the future program for Stotfold and Shefford

We need the government/parliament to help unpause the CBC’s schools for the future program in the Stotfold and Shefford area which has been promised and planned for the past 3 years. It is claimed the last admin did not plan its funding. This needs investigating and the program funded, true or not.

More details

This has been planned for by parents, children, schools and council for the past 3 years. Parents have planned their lives & schools invested millions into the change from a 3 tier school system to a 2 tier system like the rest of the county and country. Other areas of the county are continuing their plans for this despite having planned for less time and is only the Stotfold and Shefford cluster being paused. What has gone wrong and who is responsible? It’s not believed it cannot now be funded
