NEW owners have been found for a closure-threatened Helensburgh nursery, according to a social media announcement.
The Drumfork Nursery and Family Centre, located in the town's recently-refurbished Drumfork Community Centre, had been set to close for good at the end of this month after the owners decided to move on.
Parents had reacted with shock and anger after the closure – which had been due to take effect on February 29 – was announced earlier this month.

The identity of the facility's new owners has not yet been made public.
The centre's Facebook post stated: "We are thrilled to announce that new owners have been found for Drumfork Nursery.
