Episode Details

West Lothian Council faces a financial setback after being denied a £15 million grant from the Scottish Government to complete St Kentigern’s Academy renovation. The school, plagued by crumbling RAAC concrete, has already cost the council £20 million and borrowed the rest, now facing a potential £30 million debt. Council leader Lawrence Fitzpatrick accuses the Education Secretary of breaking a promise, while Public Finance Minister Ivan McKee suggests collaborating on school improvements. Despite receiving nearly £500 million for services next year, St Kentigern’s remains in limbo as negotiations continue.
