The funding to fix leaky roofs, broken windows and dilapidated buildings is the first condition allocation for FE colleges in two years,

Large college groups such as NCG and Capital City College will receive more than £7m each.

Colleges in Greater Manchester and Leeds will also benefit from a £20m boost to capacity funding for 16-19 year olds to address a shortage of places.

Among those to benefit will be Calderdale College in West Yorkshire, which will use the capital funding to expand its much-needed capacity in construction and professional trades workshops
