Proposed New Campus For Largs

The final stage of a consultation process for a proposed campus in Largs, North Ayrshire, is to commence next week.

The Consultation Report, which includes the findings from the public consultation, has since been published on the council's website, alongside an assessment by Education Scotland of the educational impact of the proposal.

The next stage of the process is now for the local authority to decide whether it should proceed with the plans, and if approved, the Scottish Government will have eight weeks to make a final decision.
