A campus at a further education college in South Yorkshire is to be shut down in a bid to save money.

Sheffield College's Peaks Campus will close in September, with a consultation involving 13 full-time and 70 part-time staff already under way, bosses said.

The college was "committed to minimising any potential redundancies", they added.

A local councillor said the closure "would negatively impact local learners and the surrounding area".

Most courses would be moved to the college's city centre site on Granville Road, a spokesperson said.

In a statement, the college said the decision about the campus in Waterthorpe Greenway followed "an internal review of the college estate".
