Campaigners launch legal challenge over new Mull school

by Amelia

Campaigners on the Isle of Mull have launched a legal challenge over the local authority's decision on 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.

Campaigners say they felt they had "no choice" and have now hired a layer to take the case to a judicial review at the Court of Session.

A judicial review is a type of legal case where a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public authority.

A spokesperson for Argyll and Bute council said they had been made aware of the proceedings.
