January 2021 Update

The community council is fully committed in its support regarding the two matters Stepps Primary School is currently facing , namely, major remedial drainage works and an ongoing overcapacity issue.

 

The remedial drainage works are to address the drainage issues beneath the school building and it appears an option has been agreed between the North Lanarkshire Council (NLC) and Transform Schools North Lanarkshire (TSNL). 

The Greek Theatre has been demolished and preparatory works carried out for the installation of modular units to provide additional teaching space. In addition, new parking restrictions are in operation. At this stage the strategy remains to relocate the library and community facilities to premises at 7 Buchanan Gate. No further update on this at present.

The overcapacity issue was raised in 2018. Since then the community council has made many representations to NLC on this issue. To date NLC has been intransigent in providing a response.
