I am delighted that the Council has finally acquired the derelict shell of Monty’s Bar on Bay Street, Port Glasgow, which was gutted by fire in March 2009.
I have been doggedly pursuing this matter for a number of years and I am pleased that my perseverance has paid off at last.
Monty’s Bar is located on a corner of Bay Street opposite the junction with Court Road at the heart of Port Glasgow town centre. Its appearance has detracted from our efforts to improve the town centre.
The building will now be demolished and the area landscaped by the end of the summer pending a decision on the long term future of the site. This will be considered by the new Port Glasgow Regeneration Forum - comprising Councillors and representatives from both Port Glasgow community councils and the traders association, as well as Council and Riverside Inverclyde officials - which meets for the first time on Tuesday afternoon in 71/2 John Wood Street.
