Parents have “no confidence” in council chiefs as the fallout from a school capacity saga – which could cost £75 million – intensifies in Renfrewshire.Dargavel Primary School parent council released a blistering statement saying it will “cease cooperation” with the local authority over the “horrendous historical error” which saw the facility in Arrochar Drive, Bishopton, built too small.The group believes there has been a lack of “urgency” to address the issues that have arisen from the debacle and has lost faith in chief executive Alan Russell, outgoing director of children’s services Steven Quinn and head of education Julie Calder.

Alan Kelly, parent council chair, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service : “People are talking about putting their house up for sale because it’s, ‘where are my kids going to go to school?’ “It’s really going to damage a community that should be growing, thriving and developing.

It’s going to rip it to bits. I’m really, really concerned.”Education bosses are planning a second primary school for Dargavel Village and an extension for the associated Park Mains High School.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
