Forres Academy Location Survey |
Background
Further to the Education, Children's and Leisure Service committee held on 27 March, it was agreed that the next step for the Forres Academy project is to engage with the community regarding the site selection for the new build. There are two site options remaining following the committee meeting: Lochyhills and Applegrove/ Roysvale.
Whilst there are risks associated with developing either of these sites, it was noted that only Applegrove/Roysvale Park is under ownership of the Council, whilst Lochyhill would require the Council to formally acquire the land in question. The main risk with developing the Applegrove/Roysvale site lies with the fact that a major part of the developable site is classed as ‘Common Good’, although the main school building is not planned on this site but rather the Council-owned land adjacent to Applegrove Primary School and currently used as grass playing fields by them. The cost for developing the Lochyhill site is up to £4m more than the Applegrove/ Roysvale site. More detailed information about the new school build can be found here.
If you would rather complete a paper copy of the survey, these can be collected from and returned to either Forres Post Ofiice or Forres Library.
This short survey seeks your views on these two sites for the location of the Forres Academy new build. The survey should take no long than 5 minutes to complete. This survey will close on 25 April 2024.
