Mr Reynolds said that after the further education college received the security threat, the area concerned was evacuated immediately. They undertook thorough searches with Mr Reynolds, with searches also carried out by staff volunteers. "Further investigation has found that the threat was unfounded and the site cleared as completely safe," the principal said. Good evening,I’m sure you will be aware that we had to lock down the college site at the end of the day today. We had received a security threat and immediately evacuated the area concerned and placed notification onto our website and media channels.
