With the snow having cleared - well at least temporarily - the damage to our roads and footways is clear for all to see.
Following discussion with the Committee Convener, my colleague Robert Moran, I have asked officers to bring forward a report to the Council's Safe, Sustainable Communities Committee on 18 January with a proposal to allocate an additional £400,000 to the Committee's budget to assist with dealing with the most urgent repairs. The money will come equally from the Council's contingency fund and general reserve.
I would hope that COSLA's representations to the Scottish Government will result in some additional funding being allocated to Inverclyde and other local authorities given the extreme nature of the weather conditions we have faced this winter.
