MP Jo Swinson, disagreed with her Lib Dem councillor colleagues decision to move the site of the new Bishopbriggs Academy.
While she agreed that the Thomas Muir site did have some advantages, better sporting facilities and better arrangements during construction. She felt that the views of the people of Bishopbriggs, the central location of the site, at Bishopbriggs High, offer a community resource that weighed more heavily than a move to the Thomas Muir site.
Sadly, like the result of the consultation with the people of Bishopbriggs, the council decide to move the school to a site on the outskirts of the town.
A site with no local park, not near the town library, no large shopping centre nearby, fewer transport links. It does have a dangerous road linking it to Cadder, the quickest route to the site, but that route is not recognised by the council (see below).
But it is flat, square, and easier to build on than the High School site!

Maybe she has realised that this decision will harm the Lib Dems and is trying to re-align herself with the people?
A bit too late for me I will never vote for them again after this!
Have to agree.
What has she done for us?
I won't be voting for her again...
Why bother with the expense of asking the people if we were ignored?
Get a grip council - you were voted in by the people - and they can determine your future.
Wake up and remember Bearsden and Milngavie should not be your only considerations...
It could have been such a great school!
