Borders council votes for nursery closure plan

by Leo

A council has voted to press ahead with plans which could see a number of nurseries closed despite a protest from parents.

The local authority in the Borders revealed proposals to shut six rural sites earlier this month due to low attendance levels.

It prompted criticism from families with children at the nurseries – as well as from Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden. He went to Channelkirk Nursery in Oxtonwhich is under threat of being mothballed.

Scottish Borders Council's executive committee voted by nine to seven to take forward its "meaningful consultation" which could pave the way for mothballing the facilities.
