Park Fears over "Super-School" site

councillor Niall Walker has expressed misgivings that the proposed new West End primary 'super-school' at the Gibson and Otago Street gap site could impact upon the running of Kelvingrove Park.Cllr. Walker is concerned that a depot used as space to store equipment for the running and maintenance of Park would have to be demolished to make way for the proposed 12,500 sq. metre '"Site. Speaking to the West End Mail Cllr. Walker said: "As community councillor, I am concerned that equipment, which is absolutely essential to the running of the park could be sent miles away to the other side of the city. >>>>>>>>>> "Anytime a lawn-mower is needed it would have to come from another part of the city which is clearly not the ideal, the ideal is to have the equipment in or near to where it is needed." Proposals for the new £9.8m school are currently undergoing an extensive consultation process. A council spokeswoman said: "We will not be commenting on any individual views or opinions whilst this is underway. All responses should be sent in writing to the director of education by the 9 December." She also added that there is extensive information available on the council's website. West End Mail
