Major investment in play areas proposed

Next week's Safe, Sustainable Communities Committee will be asked to consider proposals for major investment in play area provision across Inverclyde totalling over £600,000.

One of the projects under consideration is a proposal for a new play area and multi-use games area on land adjacent to Boglestone Community Centre, in my own ward. This is a project that I have been keen to see get the go ahead for some time as it is a central location for much of upper Port Glasgow, where play areas are in short supply.

The report is proposing that the Council approves in principle a contribution of £100,000, with the local Three Wards Community Council looking to match fund this from other sources.

If approved, the Council contribution should hopefully assist the Community Council attract other funding, meaning that a better facility can be developed for the benefit of the children and young people of the area.
