Morley Town Councillors pledged their support to retain Joseph Priestley College courses in the town at last week’s Town Council Meeting. The support pledge follows a formal announcement that the Colleges’ Peel Street campus is to be closed down due to funding cuts.
The Town Council felt it was important we did everything we could to support the College to continue with providing courses in the Morley area and we are looking at local buildings to see if they can be used for this purpose.
I have met with College Staff at Morley Town Hall to see if any of the space within the Town Hall could be used to support the proposal.
The Town Hall is underused and we would welcome the opportunity to work in partnership with the College to see if they could make any use of the space within the building. The further education courses the College runs are essential for many of our local residents. We will do everything we can to work with the College to find a viable solution to the challenges they face with offering an educational presence in Morley.
