Cllr David Dodds said: “West Lothian has one of the best school estates in the country, and this investment of over £200,000 is intended to make sure our schools stay in good condition, ensuring that our pupils have the best possible environment to learn in.

"The Easter holiday period offers a window to safely carry out essential repair and improvement works while the children are not in school limiting any possible disruption for our pupils during term-time.”
