A NEW 750-place high school is to be built in Radcliffe after Bury Council's planning committee unanimously passed proposals on Tuesday evening, which will see children from the town able to attend school there for the first time since 2014.
The school, operated by Star Academies, will be built at the site of the temporary leisure centre on Spring Lane, which will be replaced by a new 'hub' building which will shortly be constructed in the town centre.
Currently, hundreds of youngsters living in Radcliffe, which has a population of more than 30,000, face a daily commute to other areas of Bury.
