The £60m Maybole Campus can't cater for rural school meals despite being at around half of its 1,370 pupil capacity.
A senior councillor is worried that the new kitchen at the £60m Maybole Campus isn't able to cater for 169 rural pupils despite being almost half full when it opened.
And he said he was shocked that no cabinet members questioned the fact that the new build didn't have greater kitchen capacity when it was raised during a report into the future of the empty schools being left behind last week. It stated: "The Maybole Community Campus has capacity to provide catering requirements for the four schools that it will replace, but it does not have sufficient capacity to accommodate catering requirements currently undertaken at Cairn Primary."
The Local Democracy Reporting Service asked South Ayrshire Council to explain why the new campus could not accommodate the rural schools, despite the potential school roll being double the current number. However, when asked whether this meant that the new kitchen was already operating at its upper capacity, and whether any of the other factors beyond the number of pupils had impacted the decision, they would only say that they were reviewing all 'distribution kitchens' due to the expansion of free school meals to primary six and seven and the increasing demand for special dietary requirements across its schools.
