An education centre run by transport union RMT will be renamed in memory of late leader Bob Crow.

The union will name its Doncaster college after the former general secretary, who died suddenly in March aged 52.

Mr Crow’s successor as general secretary Mick Cash said yesterday: “Bob was wholly committed to the core trade union principles of educate, agitate and organise.

“With Bob Crow as general secretary our education centre in Doncaster grew into a full residential college educating and training up hundreds of our activists and building a strong, member-led union that has proved its resilience despite the shock of Bob’s tragic death earlier this year.”
