Work on budget due to get underway next year
The education minister insists not all older primary schools need replacing after confirming plans for a replacement for Scoill yn Jubilee will be progressed next year.
Dr Alex Allinson defended plans to relocate the facility to the cleared site at Park Road, despite the Area Plan for the East zoning the land for residential development.
His comments led to a number of members highlighting other schools in need of replacement.
With work on the budget for the project getting underway next year, Dr Allinson insists Scoill yn Jubilee is no longer suitable:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
