Our key messages

Summarised below are the key points that we want to bring out, as we engage with EDC and all other stakeholders. We welcome your comments...

  1. In addition to providing education, St. Joseph's also accommodates nursery, breakfast and after school provision for children from not only St Joe's but also Craighdhu Primary. 
  2. For the past 20 years, St. Joseph's has provided the only adequate space for the Tuesday Club, which provides essential care for Adults with Special Needs. 
  3. The loss of both St. Joseph's and Milngavie Primary will have a devastating impact on footfall during the week and therefore on local businesses in Milngavie Town Centre, leading to likely shop closures. 
  4. Under the current proposal by EDC, cycling and walking to school will be replaced by private transport and buses, dramatically increasing congestion and reducing well being. 
  5. Loss of the only denominational school in our community of Milngavie and Baldernock (as defined by EDC in their consultation questionnaire).
