  • Weir Street, Greenock £25,000
  • Lauriston Park, Greenock £25,000
  • Wemyss Bay Community Centre £75,000
  • Hay Street, Greenock £25,000
  • Boglestone, Port Glasgow (new facility on site next to community centre) £75,000 (total funding now £182,000)
  • Larkfield/Braeside (new facility on site to be identified) £25,000 (total funding now £100,000)

  • Watt Street, Greenock £25,000

As a Ward 1 Councillor I am particularly pleased by the funding allocated for Boglestone and West Glen Road.

  1. I am very pleased to read of the £75k in Wemyss Bay.
    15 years ago, when I bought my new build house in the village, each new buyer paid a sum towards the new playpark in the village.
    A great incentive for the many parents of young families buying their new family homes.
    Now that my kids are just about old enough to start university, I am glad that the play facilities will finally materialise - especially since Ardgowan Football Development got their pitch, that they truly seem to believe is solely theirs, first.

    Can we just confirm that the council have managed to finally wrestle the bond from the insurance firm (DeMontfort) toward the construction of the facility please ?
    I'd hate to see that opportunity missed again.
