Handyperson Service For Island School

Three new posts are to be created with the establishment of a handyperson service for dealing with small scale repairs and maintenance tasks for schools in the Western Isles.

Cllr Norman L Macdonald, Chairman of Education said: “This will provide an improved service for schools throughout the Western Isles and will also provide employment opportunities.”

A report will now go to the Policy and Resources Committee for approval and if agreed, the new service will come into operation as from August this year.
