SNP Manifesto Pledge: St Kentigern’s Academy Funding Hope?
Description
West Lothian Council, led by Labours Lawrence Fitzpatrick, is pushing for £15 million from the Scottish Government to rebuild St Kentigern’s Academy, following major demolitions due to RAAC issues. After repeated rejections, the SNPs manifesto now includes this funding, potentially unlocking the cash ahead of elections. Fitzpatrick demands clarification on the manifestos implications for schools affected by RAAC damage, as the council has already spent £20 million and borrowed £15 million, with annual repayments of £30,000. The new school opened recently, but the funding saga continues.
