Funding bid to refurbish two of East Renfrewshire's 'worst' primary schools

Two primary schools in East Renfrewshire could be replaced if funding bids to the Scottish Government are successful.

Money will be requested to rebuild Carolside Primary, Clarkston, and Cross Arthurlie Primary, Barrhead, as they are the council’s “top priority” for improvements.

Carolside will be prioritised for investment in the application process as it is in the “worst condition”. That project is estimated to cost £54m while work at Cross Arthurlie has been priced at £34m.
