'Yoker still requires a nurseryl'
Shocked councillors believe there is a “significant case” for a new nursery along the Dumbarton Road corridor, after it emerged the council has dropped plans to open a service in Yoker sports centre.
The area’s four councillors, Eva Murary, Bill Butler [both Labour], Chris Cunningham and Malcolm Mitchell [both SNP] have united “to make the case for this project to remain on the agenda and to be progressed”. “The communities that make up the Dumbarton Road corridor in the north west of the city have lower car ownership than other areas and with the lack of connectivity in regards to public transport between the north and the south many of our constituents will be simply unable to access nurseries.”
After the Scottish Government pledged to expand nursery entitlement for all three and four year olds, and some two year olds, from 600 hours of funded provision to 1140, the council undertook a citywide planning exercise to measure capacity. A report to councillors stated that, following the pandemic, nursery numbers “have continued to be lower than anticipated” and there is a “reasonably high level of as yet unused nursery capacity”.
