Midlothian Council is consulting residents on a revised design for a £115m replacement secondary school.

Midlothian Council is consulting residents on a revised design for a new secondary school to replace Beeslack High School, planned for land off Seafield Moor Road in Bilston. The £115 million project had received planning permission from councillors last year, but a redesigned proposal has now been submitted. The new version removes a proposed veterinary clinic from the original scheme and adjusts the site boundary accordingly.

Council leader Kelly Parry said the first consultation at the current Beeslack school this month had been 'very well attended' by local residents. She urged people to attend the second consultation at Bilston Primary School on 11 November to view the proposals and provide feedback. The applicants have 12 weeks from the consultation to lodge a formal planning application for the redesign.
