Islanders take council to court over new school location

Excerpt from bbc.com

Islanders in Mull are taking their council to court over the decision of where to build a new school.

Argyll and Bute Council decided earlier this year to build the new £43m school campus close to the current high school in Tobermory.

Many parents wanted a more central location so that pupils in the south of the island would no longer have to travel by ferry to Oban for schooling and stay in hostels during the week.

The case will be heard at the Court of Session in Edinburgh later and a decision is expected further down the line.
