Masonry from a primary school building which is due to be replaced fell onto the playground, sparking concern among parents and the local community, Midlothian councillors have been told.
The incident at the campus of Mayfield and St Luke's primary schools, in Dalkeith, saw engineers sent to the site and action taken to ensure the buildings are safe.
At a meeting of Midlothian Council this week elected members were asked to approve funds to meet the costs of maintaining the repair work carried out at the schools for the coming year as it was revealed the new campus they are due to move into is two years away from completion.
