Eddie Montgomery of the Council's School Estates Team gave an update on progress with the new shared campus. He advised the Group that the demolition works are complete, with groundworks, drainage, piling and formation of the new roundabout on Kilmacolm Road all at an advanced stage. The steelwork for the sports wing will start emerging from the ground very soon.
Members of the Group were pleased to hear that the contract is on schedule for completion in July 2013.
The Working Group were advised that agreement had been reached between the Head Teachers of the secondary schools on the wings of the main block that each would occupy. Port Glasgow High School will be located in the wing nearest Kilmacolm and St Stephen's High School in the other wing.
The Working Group also agreed to consult parent councils on a proposed name for the campus, which will also house the new Craigmarloch School. The name proposed is "Port Glasgow Community Campus" reflecting the fact that the campus will be a community resource for all of Port Glasgow.
The next meeting of the Working Group will take place on Monday 28 May.
