CROXTETH COMMUNITY COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL

Early day motion 2306, tabled 21 October 2008 by Robert Wareing (Independent). Signed by 14 members.

That this House deplores the proposal by Liverpool City Council to close Croxteth Community Comprehensive School in 2010; recognises the stabilising effect the school has in servicing the Croxteth and Norris Green areas of north east Liverpool, an area characterised by high levels of social deprivation, low skill employment and a high incidence of unemployment; is aware of recent serious incidents involving youth crime and anti-social behaviour in that area; realises that the proposal to close this school will leave these two districts without a single state secondary school and will deliver a blow to the confidence of the local community struggling to overcome recent desperate problems; and calls on Liverpool City Council to withdraw its proposal and for HM Government to investigate the matter.
