COLLEGE: Cllr Beverley Nielsen announced a meeting was taking place with WCG THE college group handling the ongoing closure of Malvern Hills College has hit back at accusations they are not working to secure its future. WCG, which announced in November its plans to close the college, moved to clarify a number of issues raised by Cllr Beverley Nielsen, chair of the Malvern Hills College SOS Task Group. A spokesman said: “We would reiterate that the announcement by WCG to cease operations at the Albert Road site in Malvern was taken with the greatest reluctance last November. It primarily stems from the Government cuts in adult education funding over the last decade – a point made this week by the FE Commissioner who sadly accepted that such decisions are having to be made across the college sector in an FE Week feature.
