FOUNDATIONS have started being laid as construction on Inverclyde's newest school ramps up.

The framework for the new �44 million Port Glasgow shared campus on the site of the former Port Glasgow High School were laid last week.

Construction of the state-of-the-art facility is in its early stages after demolition works at the site was successfully completed.

A name for the new build is set to be put to parents.

The suggested title is 'Port Glasgow Community Campus' and it will be the subject of a consultation exercise before a decision is taken.

Work on the new school is on schedule for completion in July 2013.
