I am delighted to see that filming has started on the next series of school drama 'Waterloo Road' at its new set in the former Greenock Academy building. The relocation of 'Waterloo Road' to Inverclyde is a major boost for the area.
I am concerned to hear however that SNP MSP Stuart McMillan is actively canvassing residents in the west end of Greenock over the future of the site once the Council's initial lease with Shed Productions expires in two years time. Unlike Mr McMillan, I and my Labour colleagues would like to see 'Waterloo Road' remain in Inverclyde for a long number of years to come.
Given that Mr McMillan's SNP colleagues are bidding to win control of the Council in May it is important that they clarify their position in relation to 'Waterloo Road'. They should tell us if they do succeed in forming the next Administration will they actively work to retain production of 'Waterloo Road' in Inverclyde or are they looking to use the site for other purposes.
I await their response.

Mr McMillan is an opportunist of the worst sort.
