Portobello High School – Fringe app – Queensferry Community High School tomorrow – ECA Fashion Show – Tonight at The Filmhouse
The council have taken a step in the direction of a new school in Portobello by lodging a Private Bill at Holyrood which they hope will allow them to build the school in Portobello Park. The bill aims to change the status of the land from inalienable to alienable – at least for educational purposes.
The council are still waiting to hear if they have been successful in purchasing the alternative site at Baileyfield from Scottish Power. This is the alternative site, and the council wanted to purchase the land there as a ‘backstop’. If they are successful in buying the Baileyfield site and it is not used for a school, then councillors say they propose to use it for housing.
