The purpose of this Technical Note is to advise Elected Members of a four-day period of site investigations taking place within the boundary of Westerton Primary School, Bearsden
Works are planned during the October school holiday period, between Tuesday 13 October and Friday 16 October and will consist of installation of gas monitoring wells and ground investigation trial pits using excavation plant and Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) scanning
These site investigation works are required to inform the next stage in the design of the proposed replacement of Westerton Primary School
Once completed, all trial pits will be backfilled and remediated with works to be completed by Friday 16 October
The gas monitoring wells will remain in place and capped safety and securely by Friday 16 October. They will remain in place until December 2026, with any extension to this time period to be reviewed, if required
In advance of the next design development stage beginning, Officers intend to undertake engagement and consultation with the school and wider public community on the proposed replacement of the primary school. This will include a briefing session for Elected Members in advance of this public engagement. Dates of these sessions are in the process of being confirmed but will likely be mid-late November 2026. A further Technical Notice will be issued in due course detailing these engagement sessions.
