Following on from the Labour-led Administration's decision to invest a further £1m in Port Glasgow Town Centre - which incidentally was opposed by SNP and Lib Dem Councillors - Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has approved funding of £150,000 for improvements to Port Glasgow's main bus terminus. As a Port Glasgow Councillor I very much welcome this investment - which I and other members of the Administration have been lobbying hard for - as it should help bring the facilities for bus users at Port Glasgow up to a similar standard to Greenock's recently upgraded Bus Station at Kilblain Street.
Officers of the Council are currently working with Riverside Inverclyde (RI) to develop proposals for the Council's £1m investment in the Town Centre, which I am hopeful will lever in additional funding from RI. The proposals will be the subject of a report to the Council's Regeneration Committee at its first meeting after the summer recess.
I would like to see some of this funding used to upgrade the town's Coronation Park. In this regard I am pleased that a proposal to spend £25,000 from the Council's Play Area Investment Fund on improving the existing children's play area within the park will be considered by the Council's Safe, Sustainable Communities Committee on 3 May.
