    The new school was set for a June 16 opening but is now not expected to be opened until January next year - some 17 months after the original date of August 2016.

    did you use the canal last year? would have thought your group was a bit big to do that comfortably?

    Also an issue for Harrison Park. It was a vital link between Dalry and Gilmour Place for us. We all just took it easy. Not keen on being forced onto road along Dundee Street, as it's a traffic light controlled junction and then a right turn across traffic back up to Leamington lift :/ If group is really big it will be a stress. Hankchief is asking if towpath can temporarily be reopened.

    Ah apologies! I thought the feeder went all the way along the canal to Gilmour Place. My mistake.

    The final phase of works at Boroughmuir will commence onsite on Monday 10 April 2017 with an estimated programme of 10 weeks working maximum.
