Lots of positive news for Ward 1 at today's Environment & Regeneration Committee.
Consultants are currently designing flood prevention schemes for Glenmosston Burn and Port Glasgow Road in Kilmacolm and Gotter Water in Quarrier's Village. The designs should be completed by December.
Work is also progressing on the design of a 20mph zone for the Broadfield estate in Port Glasgow. Once the design is complete there will be consultation with local residents and other interested parties. If the £60,000 scheme gets the go ahead work will be carried out during financial year 2016/17.
Youngsters in the Kelburn estate in Port Glasgow will be delighted to hear that the Committee approved a £50,000 contribution towards the cost of a new play area for the estate in partnership with River Clyde Homes. This is something the Kelburn Action Group have been campaigning for for some time.
Residents in Quarrier's Village, Kilmacolm and the Port Glasgow part of Ward 1 are also set to benefit from an £800,000 investment by the Council in improved street lighting with over 300 lanterns to be replaced in these areas with more energy efficient ones producing white lighting lighting.
