QuestionView source ↗
In relation to proposals for the futures of Ferndale, Kinlock and Lynwood Primary schools, I ask-
(1) Who currently has control of these school sites?
(2) What will happen to these sites if one or more schools is closed or relocated?
(3) Who will be making the final decision on the future of these schools, as the local community has stated many times in the recent past that it is against any of these schools being no longer retained as educational institutions?
