What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Andrew Brown, a Liberal Democrat county councillor representing Holt, asked Norfolk County Council if the stalled school rebuild scheme could be restarted. Wendy Atkinson, a cabinet member, confirmed that a bid had been lodged for government money to help rebuild the school. While she noted that declining birth rates meant there was no current requirement to expand the number of places, she confirmed the existing primary school is in poor condition.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project involves moving Holt Primary School to a new £13m building, which would double its capacity from 210 to 420 places. The revival of this long-stalled infrastructure project, supported by a bid for government funding, could drive local construction and housing capacity in the area.
