A council which miscalculated the number of places needed for pupils at a new school has been branded "grossly incompetent".
An independent review has delivered a withering verdict on Renfrewshire Council's handling of an error which left Dargavel village short of up to 1,000 primary school places.
The report ruled the local authority's planning was "woefully inadequate".
The council has said it is "deeply sorry for the very serious mistakes".
Dargavel Primary in Bishopton, Renfrewshire, opened last year with a capacity of 548.
Renfrewshire Council then admitted "significant errors" had been made with its forecasts and between 1,100 and 1,500 primary school age places would now be needed in the area over the next decade.
