Glasgow City Council’s Labour group have voted 31 to 6 in favour of closing 20 schools and nurseries across the city. Only three of the facilities slated for closure have been spared the axe - Ruchill Primary, Shawbridge Nursery and Nithsdale Road Nursery.

Before the announcement was made, the Save Our Schools campaign held an Easter Egg hunt for the children at Shakespeare Street youth club in Maryhill. Local News spoke to some of the parents affected by the closures, here’s what they say about it in their own words. Diane Beat has a child at St Agnes’ Primary in Cadder, and is concerned about the travel arrangements to the new school.

Tracy Rankin’s daughter attends Victoria Primary in Govanhill.
