Fires in the Clune Park area

As a ward Councillor, I am naturally very concerned by the story in yesterday's Greenock Telegraph on the regular fire raising taking place in the Clune Park area. Residents should not have to live with this very real threat to their safety.

This problem reinforces the need for the Council and the Scottish Government to reach an early agreement on the long-term strategy for Clune Park.

It is also highlights the need for the Council, Police, Fire and Rescue, landlords and local residents to work together to make the area safer in the meantime. I have asked Council officers to invite a representative of Strathclyde Fire and Rescue along to the next meeting of the Clune Park Task Group on 14 June, so that we can discuss what further action needs to be taken.
