  15. Two new schools planned for county's troubled children

    Two new schools are to be built in Barrow and Carlisle to provide education for children who cannot attend mainstream establishments because of their social, emotional or mental health requirements.

    There will be space for 40 pupils at each school, and £5m is being spent on new buildings at Channelside in Barrow, as we reported earlier this week, and in Harraby in Carlisle, as long as planning permission is granted.

    It's hoped the school in Carlisle will open in late 2021 and the Barrow school in 2022.
