Green light for new games area

At the full Council today Councillors, sitting as the Birkmyre Trust, gave approval for the construction of a £150,000 floodlit Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) in Birkmyre Park in Kilmacolm. The funding is coming from the Birkmyre Trust Fund.

The MUGA will be built on the site of the redundant tennis courts in the park. It will be able to be used for a variety of sports, including tennis, netball, basketball and football, and will enhance the existing facilities in the park.

Before work can start planning permission is required.

I know that there are concerns on the part of some local residents about the proximity of the MUGA to their houses. These concerns will require to be addressed during the planning process.

Equally I know that there are a lot of young people in the village who would welcome a MUGA.
