On 7 December 2017, Cabinet agreed to a statutory notice being published to begin a representation period on the proposed closure of Hameldon Community College, Burnley. A statutory proposal document was published in relation to the proposed closure of the school, with implementation commencing from 31 August 2018. The representation period took place from 16 January to 26 February 2018.
As part of the statutory process, a decision should now be taken about the proposal and this will be done by Lancashire County Council, which is the decision maker. If the authority does not make a decision within two months from the end of the consultation period, the proposal and any representations about the proposal must be passed to the schools adjudicator for a decision.
This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order No. 25 have been complied with.
