New Kingspark School almost Ready
Earlier this week, I attended a meeting of the Kingspark Project Board. The board have been supervising the building of the replacement Kingspark School for children in our city with disabilities. The Board met in the conference room in the new school which is built on one level to facilitate access. After the meeting there was a tour of the campus featuring a 20 metre swimming pool, a hydra therapy pool with sound and music, a sports hall and a sensory garden in the quadrangle behind the main entrance. The completed building is about to be fitted out with classroom equipment prior to the move from Gillburn Road scheduled to take place between the summer and autumn terms. I am proud to be part of the former Labour led administration of the council that brought this proposal forward and subsequently commissioned the building of this new school.
