The cost of an Angus schools project has increased by more than £1.6 million before a brick has been laid. The rising cost of the Arbroath Schools Project will go before councillors at a meeting today, during which the aftershock of Muirfield Contracts’ demise will be felt.

The construction of the new Timmergreens and Warddykes primary schools in Arbroath has been delayed by around six weeks because of a contractual issue with a contractor. Work on the £11 million project to replace the schools will now start in March.

Marshall Construction has been appointed principal contractor for the design & construction of the new £8 million Alyth Primary School project in Perthshire.
