RAAC planks were found in five schools and three community centres
Last Tuesday, the council’s Education Executive heard that the cash has covered everything from repair work to primary schools, to providing emergency accommodation for the largest secondary, St Kentigern’s.
The council’s depute chief executive responsible for education, Dr Elaine Cook, told the meeting: “West Lothian Council has taken a proactive approach to dealing with RAAC. It has gone through a process of identifying RAAC properties since the beginning of 2020. The schools in West Lothian with RAAC are Balbardie Primary School in Bathgate, Riverside Primary in Livingston, Windyknowe Primary in Bathgate, Knightsridge Primary in Livingston and St Kentigern’s Academy in Blackburn.
Dr Cook replied: “The finance is currently at £53million. However we still have some additionally in terms costs of temporary units to be added to that.”
