Dudley MP Sonia Kumar raises the state of Red Hall Primary School in the Commons

Transcript

00:00after the last Conservative Government?

00:02Mr Speaker, Redhall Primary School in my constituency of Dudley is split down the middle by Soil Street.

00:08Lead theft from the Victorian roofs, leakages and no real playground is not an environment for children to thrive.

00:14In 2010, the Conservatives shelved the plans to consolidate and repair the school at one side of the road.

00:20Will the Minister meet with me to discuss reopening these plans?

00:25This Government have increased capital funding to improve the condition of school buildings to £2.1 billion for the next financial year.

00:31This will include funding for Dudley Local Authority to invest in improving the condition of its maintained schools, including Redhall Primary.

00:38Capital funding and programmes for schools beyond 2025-26 will be confirmed following the spending review.

00:44I would be very happy to meet my hon. Friend, who is a real champion for children in her constituency.

00:48Thank you, Mr Speaker.
