Roofing replacement at Forres Academy
Work is to get under way next month on a £1million-plus project to replace part of the roof at Forres Academy.
The existing flat roofed area of the school has been the source of persistent problems over the years, particularly during periods of heavy rain.
Macleod Roofing has been awarded the contract for the work which will be carried out in three phases, beginning on October 5.
The first phase is due for completion by the end of the year and the subsequent phases should be completed by next June, depending on weather conditions.
A Moray Council spokesman said: “Leaks in the flat roof have been a constant problem for the school but thankfully they will soon be a thing of the past.
“The contractors will be working closely with the school to ensure that health and safety issues are the paramount consideration while these works are in progress and that disruption to pupils, staff and neighbours is kept to a minimum for the duration of the contract.”
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.
