The MP for Penrith and The Border said he will not give up in fighting to save Newton Rigg College.
After current operator Askham Bryan said it would be pulling out of Newton Rigg next year, two bidders â Hadrian Group and Newton Rigg Ltd â stepped forward with plans for the campus.
But a strategic review by the Government said last Friday that neither bid was successful.
The reviewâs objectives were to promote the opportunity and test the ability of any interested parties to fund and deliver detailed business plans and proposals for the site
