⛔️ BIGGAR ROAD EMERGENCY ROAD CLOSURE

Works will start at the bottom of Biggar Road, just before the bridge for up to 4 weeks, to resolve the continual and historic flooding. This could be in place from Wednesday/Thursday next week. A shuttle bus will be in place to take residents to and from Cleland. The diversion will be to Peggy Whites roundabout at Newhouse, down the A73 and back in from Bellside roundabout (opposite direction from Cleland). At this time I am unsure if there will be any pedestrian access. I will keep you updated!

Study Sessions

Your son/daughter is invited to attend study sessions which will run in the library on a Monday from 3.45 – 5pm. This will allow pupils an opportunity to complete homework for the subject(s) of their choice and/or do some revision in preparation for the upcoming period of SQA examination. It also will allow pupils to do some valuable study in a quiet, relaxed environment, where a drink and snack will also be provided. Computers will be available if necessary, as well as the necessary stationery/materials. This will start on Monday 21 February and run until 28th March, with scope for extending if desired. If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
