OUTSIDE Newton Rigg College, Cumbria YFC chief officer Joanne Mills and Farmer Network managing director Adam Day
BUSINESSES and charities that shared the site of Newton Rigg College in Cumbria are on the hunt for new homes after it was confirmed that the college will close this July.
The fate of Newton Rigg, at Penrith, has been in the balance since York-based owners Askham Bryan College announced closure plans last year.
With news that the campus and an associated farm were being put on the market from Tuesday, May 4, the other organisations located on the site are now faced with the prospect of becoming homeless.
