Hartford campus to close
Northwich Guardian report as follows:
THE majority of the Hartford campus of Warrington and Vale Royal College is set to be closed down and 56 members of staff will be made redundant.
The college announced the move today as ‘part of exciting plans’.
The campus, which opened in 1981 as Mid Cheshire College, will be closed almost entirely from September – leaving only the ‘engineering and advanced manufacturing’ course operating out of Hartford.
It follows the merging of Mid Cheshire College with Warrington Collegiate in August last year.
Announcing what the college describes as a ‘re-shape of its Vale Royal estate’, a spokesman for Warrington and Vale Royal College said that the decision was made due to the Hartford campus being ‘seriously under-utilised’.
