Closure of school to be raised

Tuesday 25th March 2008, 11:15AM GMT.

THE possible closure of St Andrew’s Primary School will be an election issue. Campaigners plan to canvass all candidates once nominations close.

‘We will be raising questions at the hustings and we will be noting those candidates who commit to supporting the school,’ said PTA chairman Alasdair McLaren. ‘We would expect the voting public to take an interest in who these candidates are.’

He added that it was Education, not the school, that had made it a campaign issue. ‘If they do not want this to be an election issue, they can commit to investing in the school for the future,’ said Mr McLaren.
