There was good news today.  Firstly, at its meeting this morning the Moray Council agreed to delegate authority to allow decisions to be taken over the capacity of the new build.  A recalculation of the potential future roll of EHS had led to higher figures than originally forecast – this was due to the high intake of pupils into the younger years at Greenwards and New Elgin Primaries.  This agreement will allow decisions to be taken quickly when we get into detailed discussions with Scottish Futures Trust and Hubco.  The second good news came at a meeting late in the afternoon when it became clear that the draft New Project Request forms are ready to be submitted to Hubco tomorrow.  This meets the deadline and will form the basis for the start of detailed discussions with Hubco on the design of the new build.  Added to arrangements being made to meet a senior representative of Hubco on the 11th April, we can go into the holidays in a positive mood!  A lot of work has been done by a number of Moray Council officials to get us to this stage, and we are grateful to them!
