Parents at Milngavie Primary School are outraged after a 'repaired' part of a ceiling in the building fell down narrowly missing a teacher.
Parents have expressed safety concerns about a decaying East Dunbartonshire school after a teacher narrowly escaped being injured when a "repaired" portion of ceiling came crashing down.
She pleaded with the council to take fast action to make the building watertight and windproof since the teacher, who was nearly hit by a piece of falling wood, is still "shaken". Julie, who has lived in the area for 17 years, stated that the wooden square landed in her son's classroom. She told BBC Scotland News that she was outraged to learn that it had been nailed to the ceiling as a temporary fix.
"This just shows what could happen when these things aren't done properly. We need these repairs done well and on a timescale." Leigh has two children at the school and says she fears her son's asthma worsening due to the damp and mould.
