LEA
Barnsley: Darfield Foulstone Secondary School: extensions (1975–76).
Doncaster: Mexborough Windhill Junior: new school (1976–77).
In addition a project for a new special school at Conisborough is included for Doncaster in the major building programme for special schools announced by my right hon. Friend for 1975–76.
