loss  of curriculum is a major factor and job losses. 

And your evidence for that is.......?

[Miss Marple]

Why so bitter Miss Marple ? Is not the future children's/young folks education worthy of a much needed update ?

And as far as I know, I didn't have 8.5 acres.

No loss  of curriculum is a major factor and job losses.  Oh yes it's true you and I didn't have 8.5 acres ! We had  more because the Buxton Lane site was a gift to the people of Marple !  Thanks for reminding me

£90 million is a drop in the ocean when shared among all the sixth form and FE colleges in England, so our college did well to get as much as they did.  Although no doubt that is also a reflection of the relatively poor condition of some of their estate, compared with many other colleges. 

My heart bleeds for them ! Tell you what ! Let's have a whip round ? Oh silly me we have all ready given them 8.5 acres with facilities

Guess who's got a planning application in to build more buildings , yes it's CAMSFC but  on their Cheadle Campus  .  Now the plot thickens or is it just me 

  Construction of two single storey extensions and free-standing canopies, together with hard landscaping works.

Here's a link to the application form.. http://interactive.stockport.gov.uk/edrms/onlinemvm/getimage.asp?DocumentNumber=172217

and the plans http://interactive.stockport.gov.uk/edrms/onlinemvm/mvmedrms.asp?DCNumber=DC048416

And the college have confirmed via FOI where the Cheadle development money is coming from.  They've also advised that there will be no reduction in spaces with the advent of Hibbert Lane being bulldozed, see link for full details.

The College bid for £1.2m and received £1.2m from the Building Conditions Improvement Fund. The majority of this money is intended to be spent on a minor extension at the Cheadle Campus. There is also works underway to refurbish the science labs at Cheadle and painting, flooring and repairs to roofing at Cheadle. Some new windows and doors have been installed at Marple. Final costings are not yet available as works are still underway and specifications being finalised.

Now the plot thickens or is it just me 

No, it's just you, Miss M.  The plot isn't thickening, because there isn't a plot.  There's just a college going about its lawful business doing its best to improve its facilities, at a challenging time when there is no government capital for college estates. 

They haven't handled everything as well as they might have done, but then, which of us is perfect?  In particular, they could, with hindsight, have communicated their plans more clearly and promptly to the people of Marple.  But apart from that, they seem to be doing what they can to make sure that in future our kids and grandkids have decent facilities to study in.  That's all.

Well that's alright then Harry    as  long as you know that no money is being drained out of Marple education and there is no loss of curriculum in Marple     If that's what you are saying that's great 

[Harry]

Wheres the money coming from I thought CAMSFC had no money hence the need to sell Hibbert Lane   Am I missing something here 

Read the statement from the college at http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=3861.0

Nowhere does it say they have no money. Merely that they reviewed their financing options and made decisions accordingly. Good financial management.
