US EditionLabour allows councils to sell off school playing fields
- The government announced on 2025-05-02 that councils may sell school playing fields where they are no longer needed.
- This follows government guidance allowing councils discretion but requires approval to ensure schools’ curricular needs remain met.
- Local authorities must submit applications for sale that are assessed under strict criteria, including reinvestment of funds into school facilities.
- Kevin Hollinrake stated councils should only sell fields when necessary and described current rules as a “toxic double whammy.”
- The policy continues asset sales allowed for nearly ten years, aiming to fund transformation while limiting harm to school communities.
