This would mean that these two colleges may not fill some courses and therefore possibly not be able to run them.
Why this should be taken into consideration I don't know. I would rather my children were able to study A levels in Hyndburn than have to travel to Blackburn.
For some reason Moorhead (Accrington Academy) was not met with the same opposition.
Why, I don't know.
