Next Thursday at the full Council I will be moving a three-year capital programme covering the period 2017-2020.
The total proposed investment over this period is just over £86m, with £37m to be invested in our schools alone on a range of projects including:
£5.0m on the refurbishment of Moorfoot Primary
£3.6m on the refurbishment of Lady Alice Primary School
£9.1m on a new St Ninian's Primary School
£1.7m on an extension to Gourock Primary School
£5.2m on the refurbishment and extension of St Mary's Primary School
£1.1m on the refurbishment of Bluebird Family Centre
£3.0m on a new early years facility for Greenock's west end
£1.0m on providing a new home for Glenbrae Children's Centre
£1.0m on the refurbishment of Hillend Children's Centre
£0.35m on the upgrade of Larkfield Children's Centre.
Investing in our schools was my number one priority when I first became Council Leader in 2007. Ten years on it remains my number one priority.
This further investment over the next three years will see us achieve our goal of having all pre-five facilities, primary schools, secondary schools and additional support needs schools fully refurbished or re-built by 2020. This is a legacy that I and my colleagues can be extremely proud of.
Other major projects in the capital programme include:
£12.9m on upgrading roads, footways, street lighting and other roads assets
£2.5m on flood prevention works
£2.2m on two new Children's Homes
£1.7m on the refurbishment of the Watt Library and McLean Museum
£3.2m on private sector housing support including funding for aids and adaptations
£1.4m on Broomhill regeneration works including the realignment of Bakers Brae.
