OPINIONS are being sought by Ardchattan Communty Council about what people would like to see happen to the primary school.

The school was mothballed in 2014 and is now used as a polling station and meeting venue.

On Sunday October 1, the public were invited to pop in and talk about what activities they would like to see take place in the school. The buildings are getting into a sorry state of repair,’ a community council spokesman said. ‘Unless action is taken, the school will become unusable for any community events. The school was opened in 1886 and over the years has played a vital role as a community hub. It is the only public building in the locality and in the past has accommodated well-attended Burns Suppers and Christmas parties.

‘The suggestion of a community café and a small business park have been posted on social media.

‘The open day allowed the community council to assess local interest in taking the project forward.
