New Dargavel school public events – book your place now

As you are aware, the formal consultation into the proposed new primary school in Dargavel is now under way – and the series of public events through which you can have your say starts next week.

We are writing to remind you of the dates for these, and how you can book your place to attend.

The consultation covers two issues – the location of the proposed new primary school, and a review of the catchments serving it and the existing Dargavel Primary.

It’s really important we capture as wide a range of views from the local community as we can. The events – all at Dargavel Primary, over the next few weeks – are crucial to help us do that. These include:

Information sessions – your chance to meet the senior officers working on the project in an informal setting, find out more, and raise any issues you want them to consider.

Topics will include traffic and transport, the proposed school site, what we plan to build, and school capacity and operations.

The dates are: Wednesday 14 February, Thursday 15 February, Monday 26 February and Thursday 29 February. All events are on between 6 and 9pm and we are asking you to book your place online. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-dargavel-school-consultation-information-sessions-tickets-810047031477?aff=oddtdtcreator

Public meetings – these events will allow key issues to be discussed in more detail, and for you to ask any questions.

The dates are Monday 19 February and Tuesday 5 March. Both events are on from 7 to 9pm, and again you can book your place online. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/new-dargavel-school-consultation-public-meetings-tickets-810042798817?aff=oddtdtcreator
