Episode Details

West Lothian Council is sounding the alarm as the Scottish Government remains silent on a $15 million pledge promised for St. Kentigern’s Academy — a sum crucial to finishing the school’s rebuild after a devastating RAAC collapse forced the demolition of 60% of its original buildings. Despite the funding being part of the SNP’s election manifesto and previous recognition as an “exceptional case,” the council has gone three years without a response, having already poured $20 million of their own cash into the $35 million project. With no clear path forward — either borrow the shortfall and face a $30 million debt over two decades, or wait indefinitely — Councillor Sally Pattle is demanding the government honor its promise before the community’s education infrastructure crumbles further.
