Primary School to be Demolished in Roblin
In November 1976 the Roblin Town Council voted to demolish the old Primary School. On October 26 1978 Mayor Wil Sutton announced the final decision after engineers labour Dept reports and grant considerations. The Save The School Committee attended the meeting and objected to the plan though the council said renovation was financially unfeasible and would burden taxpayers.
