Since being elected I have been lobbying for an increase of SEN provision in Bury, Ramsbottom & Tottington.
I am delighted the government have approved plans for a new special school which will have a positive impact on so many lives.
However, there is still work to do and I will continue to fight to ensure everyone in Bury, Ramsbottom & Tottington is given every opportunity to achieve their full potential.
The new 60-place special school, planned to open in September 2025, will serve pupils between the ages of 11-16 and cater for children and young people with social emotional and mental Health (SEMH) needs.
