A planned stadium and college development in Greater Manchester has been cast in to doubt as a result of the ongoing funding problems with the Learning and Skills Council's stricken Building Colleges for the Future scheme.
The proposed scheme would have housed the new Salford City College campus and the new stadium for Rugby League team Salford City Reds.
But the college – an amalgamation of three existing Salford further education colleges and a key partner in the project – may have to pull out if it does not receive funding from the LSC.
The Building Colleges for the Future Programme, which was originally worth £2.3 billion in 2008-11/09, was hit by a funding crisis after the Learning and Skills Council over-pledged its budget by £5.7 billion.
In last week’s Budget the chancellor announced £300 million of extra funding for the initiative.
The LSC is currently reassessing the national projects that they can deliver and the criteria on which the funding can be released.
Reds chief executive David Tarry said Peel Holdings, along with a landmark site that already has planning permission for stadium and retail use.
Salford-born communities secretary Hazel Blears names the Reds as her favourite sports team. In her school days she attended Eccles college, one of the further education bodies being merged into the new super college.
