1. Extra school days off
Families can find out what we know about the extra in-service days agreed for teachers, which would close schools to pupils while staff prepare for curriculum changes.
The dates for schools across West Dunbartonshire had not been confirmed when we reported the story.
2. Questions over mental health support
Councillor Dr John Mooney raised concerns about possible mental health service cuts and asked about a procurement exercise involving Stepping Stones at an October council meeting.
Our report on the funding concerns also explains the council's response: no decisions had been made about options or their impact on individual services.
3. Barns Street roadworks
A stretch of Barns Street is expected to close on November 11 so a damaged manhole cover can be replaced.
Our roadworks report has the diversion routes and explains the expected length of the closure.
4. A youth hub offering support
The West Dunbartonshire Youth Hub offers people aged 16 to 24 help with jobs, apprenticeships and training, alongside mental health and housing support.
Read about the hub and where support is available, including at West College Scotland in Clydebank.
