Port Town Centre plans moving ahead

I had a sneak preview of plans to improve Port Glasgow Town Centre today when I met with Geoff Gregory of Riverside Inverclyde who is overseeing their implementation.

The plans include the upgrading of the main entrance to the Town Centre off the A8; deep clean power washing to remove graffiti, moss, etc; new signage and shop fronts; enhancements to visually prominent buildings, such as stone cleaning, painting and improved lighting; and various other landscape works.

The total cost of the proposals is £970,000, funded from the Town Centre Regeneration Fund (£600,000), Riverside Inverclyde (£270,000) and the Council (£100,000).

Riverside Inverclyde will be consulting with the local Traders' Association and the Community Council before finalising the plans. Work should hopefully start within the next couple of months and be completed by the summer.
