New Portobello High School- Where and how?

These are quotes from some of the stuff PFANS have on their website. It took me about thirty seconds of looking to find these gems. Petty..but here we go....

REGARDING the city council's proposal to build new schools on Portobello Golf Course, there is simply no alternative site within the catchment area that is large enough to accommodate the new schools and playing fields that our children desperately need and deserve.

Stephen....Is this factual. Is it accurate?

[/quote]We would lose our 150-year-old golf course, but like myself, I am sure the 120 members would be delighted to travel an extra two minutes in their cars to access a new improved council course.

Stephen....Is this factual. Is it accurate?

[/quote]The council and Portobello school board say they have assessed the available sites and there are no other realistic alternatives.

Stephen....Is this factual. Is it accurate?

The Report

Firstly, may I address some questions that Alison asked Bob yesterday regarding Brunstane: today's report does not take into account any contribution or costs relating to the development at Brunstane. So the purchase price of the new golf course site is not included, the cost of developing the cost of the new golf course is not included and the profit contribution from the sale of housing at Brunstane is not included.

As far as I can determine the profit from the sale of housing at Brunstane will be calculated after the costs of land purchase at Brunstane and the cost of developing the new course.

BB I'm in broad agreement with you, however I am surprised by this bit:

"It is intended that the proceeds of all land sales will be utilised for the construction of the proposed new schools"

This seems to be a retraction from "all developers profit" would be retained or whatever the exact phrase was?
