A multi-million pound high school construction project in
Renfrewshire has reached a key stage with its 900-tonne steel
framework now in place.
Renfrewshire Council Leader Brian Lawson has been taken on a tour
of the £33million Park Mains High site in Erskine to see the
structure take shape.
Councillor Lawson said: "I was delighted to visit the new school
site to see the impressive structure.
"This multi-million pound project is a major investment in local
education and is a key part of our Building Better Communities
programme.
"Local children deserve to be taught in modern, well-equipped
buildings and I look forward to the new school opening its doors
next summer."
Councillor Iain Nicolson, deputy convener of the education policy
board, said: "It's always been our aim to build on Park Mains
High's strong links with the community.
Work started on the project in January and the school
should be ready by August 2012.
