Failure to fund Gaelic school
Saturday, 26 November 2005
The SNP Group on Glasgow City Council has criticised the Scottish Executive's failure to properly fund the new Gaelic medium secondary school in Woodside.  

The proposed cost at mid-2002 prices was £3.5 million.   The Executive was to pay £2.75m and the Council £0.75m.   However, despite the fact we all know there is inflation year on year, and especially in the construction industry, the Scottish Executive is refusing to move on its £2.75m figure.   Total costs are now expected to be £4m so the Council faces a bill of £1.25m, an increase of 66% on its contribution.

The SNP fully supports having this new school.   But once again it seems the Scottish Executive are trying to take all the credit while leaving the local council to foot the bill.
