A college in Stockport has been forced to close to students and staff after dozens of caravans descended on the site.

Stockport College, which provides further and higher education, sent a note on Sunday 23 April informing students that the site was closed to 'unforeseen circumstances'.

In an update on Monday afternoon, the college confirmed the campus would also remain closed on Tuesday 25 April, and that lessons would be conducted remotely where possible.

It's understood the closure is due to 'safety concerns' after dozens of caravans arrived on the campus over the weekend.

Following concerns, Stockport Council and Greater Manchester Police were contacted.

As of this afternoon, the 'unauthorised vehicles' were said to have left the site.

But bosses at the college have confirmed the college will be remain closed for another day, as an extensive clean-up is required due to the 'state of the site'.
