Queensferry Campus
Overview
The need for change in Queensferry
There is a growing population in Queensferry and we need to expand the number of school places to meet demand. We know that some of our existing assets are reaching the end of their usable life and are no longer fit for purpose. Doing nothing is not an option, and investment is required.
Previous engagement has told us that people would like services and facilities in a central and accessible location. We listened to what people have said and are proposing a new community space on Burgess Road as part of a new community campus.
Our Vision for a New Community Campus
Our vision for a community campus is:
- Centrally located facilities and services at a modern, accessible, inclusive community space;
- A new fit for purpose Early Years Centre at the north end of Burgess Park;
- Retaining and enhancing greenspace at the south end of Burgess Park;
- Extend Burgess Park by removing the Road Depot;
- Relocate the library to the community space and create opportunities to expand the library services;
- Provide additional classrooms at Queensferry Primary School
- Expand playground space at Queensferry Primary School replacing buildings in poor condition.
Why your views matter
Our vision for a new community campus has been developed in collaboration with key stakeholders and service providers in Queensferry. This collaboration has helped us to understand more about what’s working, what’s not working and what changes might be needed for future service provision over the next 10 years and beyond.
The feedback from the questionnaire will provide us with a wider range of views, help direct a design process and allow us to prepare a business case. Key stakeholders and community representatives will continue to be involved at each stage a the project develops.
