Green light for new play park...

I am delighted that the Council's new play park at Boglestone in Port Glasgow has been given the green light by the Planning Board.

It is proposed to complete the project in a number of phases as funding becomes available. Phase 1 comprises of a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), similar to the one in Birkmyre Park in Kilmacolm, and a play area. Phase 2 comprises of a tarmac footpath leading from the adjacent subway to the play area and MUGA, and phase 3 is a large aerial swing.

The funding in place (£182,000) will allow phase 1 to proceed while phases 2 and 3 will require additional funding.

The project should hopefully go out to tender this month with work starting in the spring.
