Officially half-way there…
The Scottish Conservatives have today spoken out in support of retaining Fort Primary School. The Greens are against all the school closures, and our Labour Councillor Gordon Munro stood with us at our deputation in September, and will do again at the full Council deputation on the 17th. These members are aware of the overcrowding that a merger with Trinity would create, and the detrimental effect this would have on our children’s education. They also see no reason to temporarily close a school at a time of population growth. This means that we now have exactly 50% of the vote in our favour.
So now we look to our SNP and Liberal Democrat councillors and urge them to see the sense in creating a centre of excellence at Fort, bringing together pre-school, primary and community learning.
