§ Mr. RossLanarkshire Education Authority proposes to build a non-denominational primary school and a Roman Catholic primary school on the same site at Sikeside, Coatbridge. Plans for the first phase of this project, which is estimated to cost £395,000 and which will provide accommodation for 315 pupils in each school are being considered by my Department.
