Glasgow Gaelic school plan to refurbish abandoned primary sees cots go up

Construction costs have jumped due to inflation and other issues.

A £22.8 million bid to transform an old abandoned primary into a new Gaelic school is set to cost the city council more than expected.

In 2019 it was estimated the council would have had to spend £8.25 million.The new Gaelic facility is due to open in December 2025 with pupils already lined up for places - currently being taught at North Kelvinside Primary.

The "deteriorating"school is no "longer fit for purpose" and "struggles to provide suitable facilities for a group of young people with complex additional support needs" according to a council report.A refurbishment and extension at Linburn Academy is set to cost £9.2 million with LEIP funding bringing in £3.28 million.
