Dunfermline & West Fife deserves new high schools now!
We the undersigned demand that the Scottish Government provide the additional funding Fife Council needs to start work on replacement high schools for Inverkeithing, St Columba's and Woodmill now. Fife Council has already committed a significant amount of funds in it's capital plan, it's time for the SNP Government to deliver it's share of the cash so the new high schools we need can be delivered without any further delay!
Why is this important?
Our children deserve better than being taught in crumbling and overcrowded schools.
Dunfermline continues to grow rapidly. It's a great place to live and for children to grow up. But our children are now being faced with the prospect of being separated from their friends because there is simply no room left at their local high school.
Enough is enough. Parents are fed up of excuses and fed up of catchment changes, which only cause further anxiety for parents and children and fail to solve the long term issue. It's now time for action to ensure that all children in our community can attend their local high school and access the best possible learning environment.
We have waited long enough. We've heard lots of promises but there is still no sign of the hard cash!
We demand that the Scottish Government #FundOurSchools now so Fife Council can get on with building the new schools our growing community desperately needs.
