flag Gov't cancels Witham's Lodge Farm Primary School, citing enrollment drops and SEND needs, sparking local backlash.

flag Families in Witham, Essex, are angered by the government’s decision to cancel the construction of Lodge Farm Primary School, a 420-pupil free school approved nearly a decade ago for a 750-home development. flag The move, justified by a national drop in school enrollment and rising demand for special educational needs (SEND) services, redirects £3 billion toward creating 50,000 new specialist school places. flag Witham MP Priti Patel and local councillors criticized the cancellation as a betrayal, citing ongoing population growth and unmet school capacity needs. flag Officials say they will assess future plans to ensure adequate school places.
