Work is underway to build a new £3.8 million primary school in South Ayrshire.

Financial close has been reached the new Dailly Primary School project and construction got underway today, 11 April.

The scheme is being built by Morrison Construction and delivered by hub South West.

Features of the new school include educational facilities over two levels. It will replace three existing buildings with a single facility to support 100 pupils.

The council's Executive Director, Resources, Governance and Organisation, Valerie Andrews, said: "Supporting our rural areas is a really important to the Council and this latest project will safeguard education in Dailly for generations to come.

"We listened to what the local community said they needed and to date we've received excellent feedback on our plans to transform the local school.

"With the main work now getting underway, I'm confident the community will like what they see when the doors open next year."

Michael McBrearty, Chief Executive of delivery partner, hub South West, added: "The signing of contracts is a major milestone for the project but the hard work starts now to make sure we can deliver a first-class facility for the people of Dailly."
