Arran's outdoor education centre looks set for a reprieve by North Ayrshire Council.
Depute leader Shaun Macaulay addressed the issue at a meeting of the full council amid budget cut concerns.
Arran Tory councillor Timothy Billings asked Councillor Macaulay what steps the council was taking to ensure that this “world-class facility” was able to continue its “transformative work which positively impacts every pupil’s attitude, self-esteem, confidence, resilience, teamwork, ambition, determination, work ethic, achievement, mental health, independence and emotional behaviour”.
