'No extra money' to fix primary school where classrooms were flooded with sewage
02.02.2022 - 22:05 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A school where classrooms were flooded with sewage and children were left with playing fields that 'resemble the Somme' will not be prioritised for funding.
Russell Scott Primary School, in Denton, was given a £2.7 million overhaul by Carillion from 2013 to 2015 - two years before the company went bust.
But the major project was botched, with a string of issues blighting the Tameside primary school, and experts say it would take £5 million to fix the building's problems.

Andrew Gwynne, Labour MP for Denton and Reddish, has been pushing the government to step in and help get the issues resolved at Russell Scott.
But following meetings with the Department for Education, he has received a letter which confirms the primary school will have to fight for the same pot of cash available to other schools, with no additional money being made available.
Speaking about the letter in the House of Commons on Monday (January 31), Mr Gwynne said: "I too want children to be taught in safe spaces, which brings me yet again onto the plight of Russell Scott Primary School in Denton.
"There's been a botched £2.7 million refurbishment by Carillion which left the school with wrecked footings, a leaking roof, defective fire safety measures, inadequate drainage that floods the school with raw sewage and the playing fields still resemble the Somme.
"It needs £5 million to put right or a new build. Baroness Barran wrote to me last week and basically said 'tough, there's no money'.
"That's not acceptable, is it? This isn't levelling up, let's get the purse strings open and let's rebuild Russell Scott."
