@Galway: where in wakey are you?

The bid for funding went to the gov in November 08 I believe:

Proposed phasing:
(1st) Airedale/Knottingley/Featherstone/Freeston/Castleford – start building 2012?
(1st follow on) Cathedral/City/St Thomas a Becket/St Wilfrids/Minsthorpe/Oakfield Park/Hemsworth – start building 2014?
(2nd) Crofton/Kettlethorpe/Ossett/Outwood/Horbury??/Highfield/WD Community School/Carleton/ Kings/Pinderfields

Approx £200 million capital in total

Vast majority expected to be partial / phased rebuild.

(2nd) Crofton/Kettlethorpe/Ossett/Outwood/Horbury??/Highfield/WD Community School/Carleton/ Kings/Pinderfields

Horbury's done n' dusted - work started on it about 3 years ago I think...
Humanities wing is only bit not done, but will be by February... complete new build.

I wonder if the new* block at outwood has fallen into the railway siding yet?

*It was new when I was there 15 or so years ago

I think CDEF791 is a spammer.
