Forres primary schools rezoning

A public consultation gets under way next week on plans to rezone a number of primary schools in and around Forres.

The proposals relate to the catchment areas for Alves, Anderson’s, Applegrove, Kinloss and Pilmuir.

The consultation period begins next Monday and will continue until September 30, with a public meeting scheduled for Tuesday, August 23 at 7pm at Forres Academy.

Copies of the proposals will be available at www.moray.gov.uk/rezoning or from any of the schools in the Forres ASG, the Forres access point at Auchernack and Forres library.

It is proposed that any changes to the catchment areas will come into force from August next year.

Moray Council area stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Forres in the west. The council and its 4,500 employees respond to the needs of 95,510 residents in this beautiful part of Scotland, which nestles between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live.

Headquartered in  Elgin, the administrative capital of Moray.
