The application proposes the “erection of community and early learning centre building and glazed link to existing centre” at First Avenue in Bonhill.

The local authority agreed to build the £1.15 million centre in May last year after the plans were agreed by councillors.

The existing Dalmonach CE Centre, in Bonhill, was forced to close in January following serious damage to its flat-roof.

Since the closure groups who use the facility have been provided with alternative accommodation, but now they will be provided with a fantastic new facility.

The new centre will also include additional nursery space to meet the increased future demand that is predicted to be needed in the nearby Dalmonach Early Learning & Childcare Centre.
