Eric Gotts letter to the Herald

I have sent the follow letter to councillor Gotts...

"In your letter you again repeat that the interim school board supported the council decision.

This statement is false.

I was a member of the board at the time - how could the school board support a decision before the council had made one?

The last meeting of the board was on 28th June, the council's decision was kept secret until the Scottish Executive had been informed.

The letter sent to councillors regarding the Woodhill Action Group was not shown to board members before it was sent and did not represent the view of all members.

I welcome your comments on how the board supported the council decision before they knew what that decision was."


I look forward to his reply. It's now November and he has not replied.

Councillor Gotts letter included this statement...

"...the new build would have been on the existing playing fields, with very little space for pupil movement on the rest of the site"


Can councillor Gotts name another school that is being rebuilt where this is not the case?

Maybe St Ninian's - but they'll be on the Thomas Muir site while the Bishopbriggs Academy is built - on the playing fields!
