Thorns Community College
Main Drivers/Constraints
During the school holidays, an inspection of Thorns Community College in Brierley Hill was made by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. It was found that due to shifting foundations the annexe building was considered unsafe and eleven classrooms were immediately condemned. This left the council with no other alternative but to source temporary accommodation and contacted Elliott Modular Buildings.
