The London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay will visit Inverclyde on Friday 8 June on day 21 of the torch's 70 day journey around the UK.
I am delighted that Inverclyde - and specifically Kilmacolm and Port Glasgow - will be playing host to the torch. The Olympics will be a fantastic event for our country and it is great that we in Inverclyde can be a part of it.
The Council will be responsible for event planning around the Relay in Inverclyde and the Policy and Resources Committee will receive a report on the arrangements at our meeting on 27 March. We are being asked to approve a budget of £26,000 to pay for traffic management, flags and bunting, pedestrian barriers, public toilets, etc.
It is intended that local schools will hold events to mark the arrival of the Olympic torch and potentially sport's days could be planned around this.
It gives us something to look forward to.
