Another landmark has been reached in the journey towards the new build. Today the Moray Council Children and Young People’s Services Committee agreed the funding arrangements for the project. This means that we can now move towards financial closure on Friday 19th February with Balfour Beatty taking over the building site on Monday 22nd February. To mark the occasion the P&J could only come up with the idea of a photo of the Head of Lifelong learning, etc. and myself as a suitable accompaniment to the story. I hope it does not do their sales any harm.
Meanwhile a lively meeting of the S.5/6 Events Management Group was joined by folk from Hubco and Balfour Beatty. There were lots of ideas for planning the turf cutting ceremony. More details to follow, but after years of hoping, it is getting very real!
