Regeneration Funding Means Brighter Future

There is no doubt that the regeneration of Inverclyde is off to a good start. Soon after the SNP formed the Scottish Government in 2007, SNP Ministers turned their attention to how they could help Inverclyde recover from decades of Labour and Tory economic mismanagement.

They knew that unless Inverclyde received significant investment then the area would not be turned around. That is why the Scottish Government has put its money where its mouth is and awarded £19 million to Riverside Inverclyde. Clearly this is a great opportunity to spend this money bringing jobs and investment to Inverclyde

We all know that Labour talked a good game when it came to regeneration but they failed to deliver.

Our commitment to the regeneration of Inverclyde can also be seen with the SNP’s Town Centre Improvement Fund. Greenock town centre was recently awarded £1.32 million, Port Glasgow got £600,000 while Gourock got £300,000. Everyone can agree that our town centres could do with improvements and these awards will go some way to achieving that.

The local SNP know that there is much more to regenerating Inverclyde than building luxury flats – that is why we are pushing for more investment to bring jobs to the area. The SNP's Cllr Chris Osborne sits on the board of Riverside Inverclyde and always seeks to reflect the views of the Inverclyde community at their meetings.
