Calderglen Nursery Saved? Community Pushes Back

Calderglen Early Years Centre is under threat of demolition, sparking a community outcry as locals rally to save the nursery and nearby Gate 55 community centre — both pillars of Sighthill’s social fabric. Petitioners argue the buildings are vital, especially as services are already overstretched, and urge council to repair Calderglen instead of tearing it down — or at least temporarily relocate the nursery to Gate 55 while a long-term plan unfolds. The sudden closure of the 1972-built nursery, which served 64 kids, left parents confused after a “permanent” email — later clarified as just for the school year. Safety concerns ignited by a February leak and ceiling collapse have led to a $352,000 roof repair estimate and a 20-week timeline, but critics say the lack of consultation and transparency has only deepened the community’s frustration.
