On 4 November 2021, Cabinet agreed to a statutory notice being published to begin a representation period on the future of the nursery provision currently delivered by Edisford Primary School in Clitheroe. A Statutory Notice was published, to begin the consultation period in relation to the school discontinuing the nursery provision, by permanently raising its age range from 3-11 years to 4-11 years, with effect from 1 April 2022. The consultation period took place from 2 December 2021 to 20 January 2022.
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.
