A previous Labour-run Falkirk Council is being blamed for a housing surge which has seen space at Maddiston Primary outstripped by demand.

Portakabin units understood to host no less than eight temporary classrooms have been installed ahead of the new term, fuelling local concern about the school’s future.

Reader Lionel McMillan said: “When are the council officials in charge of house planning at Falkirk Council going to get the message - there is no more space left at Maddiston primary school for any more portakabins.

“All planning for new homes should be cancelled in the Maddiston school catchment area until there is a new school built, preferably where the now empty fire brigade HQ is”.
