Over the next two weeks there will be a number of crucial meetings.  These will help to decide the starting and therefore the finishing date for the new build project.  On Tuesday afternoon the Moray Council planning committee will consider the proposals.  Yesterday (Friday) afternoon members of the committee visited Elgin High School.  They were shown detailed plans of everything from the building itself through to the arrangements for the road.  This will ensure that they will have first hand knowledge to inform their decisions.

On Thursday (the first day of the holiday weekend) there will be a “value engineering” meeting with representatives of a wide range of bodies.  We will be looking at details of the proposals to ensure both reasonable costings and that the proposals can deliver for the school community.

The third important meeting is on Tuesday 17th February.  The Moray Council Policies and Resources committee meets to agree financial arrangements.

Hopefully after these meetings, if all goes smoothly, we will be able to announce the start date and a turf cutting ceremony.
