A plan to open a new Newton Rigg College has been unveiled by campaigners looking to rebuild the future of land-based education in Cumbria.
Newton Rigg Ltd has launched an urgent action plan which seeks to build a new college to open in 2024 or 2025.
The community organisation is calling for support, starting with training courses this year and the introduction of apprenticeships in 2022.
This would lead up to the opening of a new and independent Cumbrian Newton Rigg College two to three years after.

âNewton Rigg is a vital part of the agriculture sectorâ says top business leader â sign our petition to help save college

Business leaders and trade unionists have come together to condemn a move by York-based Askham Bryan College to close its campus at Newton Rigg.
The Yorkshire college plans to sell off the Penrith campus and its assets to bolster its own flagging finances.
But supporters from the business and trades union sector said this week that Newton Rigg had served the county well as a centre of land-based learning for more than a century and will be even more important in the future as agriculture changes to meet food production, environmental and trading challenges.
