Total cost £3100. Continue reading PSA NEWS AND DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

ST NINIAN’S RUGBY PITCH FENCING WORKS
Excavation work is about to commence at the grass pitch area behind St Ninian’s to erect a perimeter fence to the new pitch area.
As a temporary safety measure the informal ‘shortcut’ access from the pathway near Our Lady of the Missions Primary School across the grassed areas up to the rear of the hockey pitch near St Ninian’s school will be closed.
Please note this is a temporary measure whilst works are underway over the next 2 – 4weeks at the grass pitch. Could parents and schoolchildren use an alternative route through Eastwood Park.
Restricted access to school main building
There is work being carried out on the main part of the building, therefore access is restricted.
