8 The Advertizer Inverclyde On the Grow Repopulation in Inverclyde could soon become a reality. The latest mid-year population statistics for Scotland showed that people moving to Inverclyde is higher than those leaving for the first time. In 2011, the gap was 305 in favour of people leaving Inverclyde. Now, the latest statics show ‘in-migration’ overtaking out-migration for the first time. Inverclyde Council leader, Councillor Stephen McCabe, said: “The council and our community planning partners launched the ‘Inverclyde Living’ campaign to promote our area and encourage repopulation. At the most recent council budget, we have allocated additional funding to focus on marketing Inverclyde as a place to visit and live and to examine the housing development opportunities in our area. “I would urge all of our partners and residents to join us in continuing promoting what we know to be true – that Inverclyde is one of the best places to live in Scotland.” According to statistics produced by the office of national statistics, the annual rate of decline from up to 2026 in Inverclyde is expected to reduce. The inmigration statistics show that 73 per cent of in-migration to Inverclyde has come from other parts of Scotland. The Council-led Inverclyde Living campaign aimed to promote Inverclyde to visitors from outside the area. Dedicated promotions took place through attendance at national homes events, branded promotion through the powerboat racing event in Scotland and across the UK, and targeted advertising promoting housing opportunities to residents outwith Inverclyde. West Lane Gardens Johnstone Hold A Coffee Afternoon This is a happy picture of a group of people having fun, playing music and socialising together. But this happy gathering is under threat as proposals to close West Lane Gardens in Johnstone is hanging over the centre’s head. Capability Scotland are pulling out of the responsibility for running this Day Centre for people with disabilities. It is a club much loved by all who attend and their Helpers and they do not wish to change the current arrangements. It now needs Renfrewshire Council to take on responsibility for keeping this amenity open for the next three years until a satisfactory permanent solution can be found. Slimmers shed clothes to raise pounds for charity! Generous slimmers across Kilmacolm have raised £1,100 for charity by donating the clothes they’ve successfully slimmed out of and know they’ll no longer need. 44 bags of clothes, shoes and accessories have been collected as part of the Big Slimming World Clothes Throw, held at the Kilmacolm Slimming World group. The bags will be donated to Cancer Research UK shops in the area as part of the national fundraising drive being run by the weight-loss organisation. Slimming World also aims to raise awareness of how keeping a healthy weight can reduce the risk of developing some types of cancer. Each of the filled bags is worth around £25 to the charity, and this year’s campaign is aiming to beat the total raised in 2017 – a whopping £3.3million in just two weeks. The campaign is now in its sixth year. Linda Stewart, who runs the Kilmacolm Slimming World group, is delighted to have raised so much money for charity. She says: “I can’t quite believe how many bags we managed to collect – I knew my members were amazing but I didn’t expect such an incredible level of effort – wow! It was almost like a purple sea of bags in group! Collecting them up to take to local Cancer Research UK shops was a real workout in itself but all so worth it. To raise such a phenomenal amount for a charity that does so much to beat cancer, feels amazing.” Our Rainbow Ramble will take place on Sunday 12th August 2018 Start the event in a pristine white t-shirt and see it take on the colours of the rainbow as you are showered in a kaleidoscope of powdered paints as you pass each colour station. These paints are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, Biodegradable, Safe and FDA Tested and more importantly easily washed off!! The ramble will take place in the park at Ferguslie Gardens where you will do 4 loops round the park – a distance of approximately 3K.
