Shrewsbury Sixth Form College

I am following keenly what the Minister is saying about the environment, but it would be bad for the environment to co-locate colleges outside the town centre, where they would not be close to the railway station. We will have to provide many new buses to transport students from the railway station to a co-located site on the periphery of Shrewsbury. That is not joined-up government. With all respect, I am pleased that the Government are offering vital investment for co-location, but why co-locate? Why can the colleges not have money for their existing separate sites?
