Creetown Primary School in line for near £1 million refurbishment programme

Creetown Primary is in line for a near £1 million refurbishment programme.

And there are also plans to spend more than £800,000 on repairs at Castle Douglas High School.

The two projects are among a string of schemes councillors will be asked to approve at today's meeting of the children, young people and lifelong learning committee.

Council officials have come up with a list of work to be carried out at school buildings across the region over the next three years. The cost is put at £4.75m for the next two financial years and £5m for 2021/22.

Creetown Primary is one of the most expensive with a £944,000 price tag put on refurbishing the school, including the kitchen. The majority of this would be spent in 2020/21.

There is also a plan to repair fabric as well as the external doors and windows of the games hall at Castle Douglas High which would cost £648,000.

The school’s technical classroom would be refurbished in 2021/22 for £200,000.

That’s part of a rolling programme of work on the region’s technical classrooms, with a similar amount being spent at Kirkcudbright Academy in 2020/21.

Other Stewartry projects on the list including spending £105,000 on the mechanics and electrics at Colvend Primary and work on the kitchen at Gatehouse Primary, which would cost more than £200,000.

Councillors will be asked to approve the spending at today's committee meeting.
