Interesting that millions can be spent on a staduim in the area which realistically is only going to benefit corporate and an event that will last a couple of months, but you chose to marginalise the opportunities in this community for it's young people rather than providing for their long term future. How shortsighted is this? SHAME ON YOU!

Not all community colleges have the success that Hackney does. By closing it you would not just be giving away a resource but years of work in building trust with the community, systems of working that nurtured meaningful relationships between community and staff.

An alternative to austerity has been suggested above. Another alternative would be to:
open up college to all,
create transdisciplinary courses and
most important make it relevant to the community.

Cutting courses simply limits the life chances of local people, many of whom were not been well served by compulsory education. It's a gross misjudgment to reduce the course offer any further.
