Section 4.1 to 4.4
Appendix A and 4

I would urge anyone who has an interest in the proposed new Wick High School to read the above document. Should the ECS committee accept the proposal put to them on 5th August, the official consultation will begin on 23rd August 2010 and conclude on 27th September, 2010.

It is vital that as many people as possible submit their views as part of the consultation process, particularly on their choice of site. I would imagine that details of the public meeting will be given at a later date.

Thanks for the info Venture and I hope that everyone does as you suggest before the numpties do irrepairable damage to the town and its heritage.

what really annoys me when you read these documents is that they are always projecting that the school rolls will fall and yet the nursery intakes for all four town schools has been increasing recently. would like to know how they can predict on birth rates?

A very good point made by letter by Noss clyne in yesterdays JOJ. The land behind the north school would be ideal.
