As plans for construction get under way, West Lothian awaits a decision from Holyrood on whether it will help with funding
So far West Lothian Council has spent £7m on the major reconstruction project at the Blackburn high school.
In an update to councillors on the Executive this week officers said: “It should be noted that the current estimated cost of £35 million as an overall development cost is extremely challenging and officers are continuing to work very hard with the project team appointed through Hub South East and the Tier-1 contractor to maintain that position.
Councillor Kirsteen Sullivan said: “Can I ask if any monies have been forthcoming as yet and if the Secretary for Education has agreed to visit the school to see the work that’s in progress?”
