FUNDING has been announced for urgent repairs and upgrades to 18 Lincolnshire schools, including one facing imminent closure.

- BY JAMIE WALLER

The government is investing £42.5m in East Midlands schools and sixth forms to fix years of 'dangerous neglect'.

Spalding Grammar Academy will receive urgent fire safety works to prevent its closure, and Westgate Academy in Lincoln will have urgent asbestos removal.

Other works include repairs to roofs and windows, replacement of a temporary classroom, and boiler or heating replacements.

The projects will take place before April 2026, with the first works starting this summer.
