Residents are being invited to help shape plans for a new learning campus in Neilston.

The proposals will see Neilston Primary, St Thomas’ Primary and Madras Family Centre being brought together on one site.

Landscaping, outside sports facilities and car parking will also be included at the new hub, to be built at the rear of the current Neilston Primary and Madras Family Centre.

An interactive web portal showing the initial design concepts will be available online from today until May 26, allowing residents to submit their views.

A live presentation will also be held online at 5pm on May 19 to allow the project team to outline its vision and answer any questions from residents.

This event can be accessed at www.bdp.com/neilstonlearningcampus.

Councillor Paul O’Kane, East Renfrewshire’s education and equalities convener, said: “I’m delighted to see this project move forward to this first part of the planning process.

“We are committed to providing the very best facilities for all our young people, as we know that quality learning environments can have an extremely positive impact.”

Construction is expected to begin later this year, with the campus scheduled to open in August 2023.

Each school will continue to have its own headteacher.
