Following the consultation on the proposal to create a Tullibody South Campus earlier this year, we have published our consultation report. A final decision will be taken at a council meeting later this summer.
The Council agreed at its meeting on 4 February 2016 to hold a formal consultation on the proposed development of a new Tullibody South Campus, consisting of Abercromby Primary School, St Bernadette’s RC Primary School, a nursery and a locality hub.
The locality hub will co-locate and integrate public services onto one site, helping to deliver more effective outcomes for local people and communities.
The distinctive identity and values of St. Bernadette's RC Primary would be maintained within the proposed Campus.
Two alternative site options are being considered. These are:
Option A:
Tullibody South Campus located within the grounds of the present Abercromby Primary School
The new campus, including the nursery and locality hub, would be built within the grounds of the existing Abercromby Primary School. Education would continue to take place in the current buildings until the new premises were ready.
At this point St Bernadette’s RC Primary School would be relocated to the campus along with the children of Abercromby Primary School.
Both current school buildings and Tullibody Civic Centre would then be demolished. This is called a 'Tandem Build' and would be managed in a safe and secure way.
Traffic management arrangements are already in place and would require only limited modification after the construction and demolition period.
Option B:
Tullibody South Campus located within the grounds of the present Tullibody Civic Centre
The new campus would be built within the grounds of the present Tullibody Civic Centre.
The construction of the new schools on this site would not disrupt learning as the populations would transfer when the new premises were ready.
This development would also incorporate facilities for the enhanced community use of the adjoining playing fields.
Joint planning with partners and interested parties would take place to ensure a smooth transition to the Campus facilities and resolve any stakeholder concerns.
Our Council Report of 4th February 2016 provides information on the next stages.
The Council will publish the response to this consultation on Friday 17th June.
An opportunity to find out about the proposals and to ask any questions you may have.
