Spending pledge ‘long overdue,’ says Cara Hilton
British cross-border train fares far outstrip flights, ranking among Europe’s worst
SCOTTISH Labour’s Cara Hilton called SNP pledges to fund education “long overdue” yesterday after Holyrood’s Education Secretary John Swinney pledged to create a new campus in Dunfermline.
Mr Swinney has announced that a new shared learning campus will be built to replace Woodmill High School, which was badly damaged by a fire in late August.
The estimated cost will be between £150-180 million and Holyrood has pledged to invest up to £90m to fund the college campus and up to 50 per cent of the school costs.
