The state-of-the-art development, which will be built in Renfrew Road, will replace the existing school in Glasgow Road.

Costs linked to the construction of a new Paisley Grammar School are already threatening to spiral by millions of pounds, it can be revealed.

Speaking at Thursday's meeting, Councillor Gillian Graham, Labour group education spokesperson, asked if the market conditions could also impact a newbuild Dargavel Primary School and extension at Park Mains High School. She said: "I understand that the costs are influenced by inflation, particularly around material and energy costs, and a contingency of 7.

"Certainly over the past two to three years, there have been significant increases in materials costs which have driven very significant cost pressures across a whole range of capital projects. And while those materials costs increases appear to be moderating a bit, it is more on the labour cost side that we are now seeing increased pressure.

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.
