Leeds City Council says it has been given £6m for repairs to the 143 schools it runs.
By David SpereallRepairs costing more than £66m are needed at schools across Leeds, the council has said.
The Labour-run authority said it only received £6m a year from government for repairs at the 143 schools it runs.According to the, a report on the issue to the council's executive board said inflation and the "continued deterioration" of some buildings meant the real cost of repairs was likely to be far higher.
Alan Lamb, leader of the authority's Conservative group, said the issue should not be a "political football" and they should accept governments "over many years prioritised trying to build things very quickly and cheaply, and that weren't built to last". A spokesperson for the DfE said it had allocated more than £15bn to improve the schools estate since 2015, including £1.8bn for 2023 to 2024.
