Our cast are eager to start rehearsing our upcoming
production “King Arthur – The Panto” by Archie Wilson.
Performances are on 24th, 25th and 26th November.
Tickets will go on sale in October. Don’t miss this highly entertaining
production and find out if Arthur will be able to conquer the Dragon
and take the crown.
Our productions are only possible with the invaluable help and
support of those who work behind the scenes. We need help with
costumes, set building, sound, lighting, props and front of house. If
this is something you are particularly interested in, we’d love to hear
from you - particularly with costumes and props. Don’t worry if it’s
not something you’ve done
before. There’s lots of
help and support
available .

Last month I attended the “One Planet Picnic” at the
Parklea Branching Out charity in Port Glasgow as
part of the Council’s Meliora Festival. It was a great
community event with people of all ages enjoying themselves in the
sunshine. Parklea is a fantastic local charity that supports adults with
additional support needs through training and work experience and I
am pleased the Council has been able to secure funding of £1.1m for
them so they can expand their activities.
I was also pleased to represent the Council on 13th August at the
Butterfly Remembrance service organised by the baby loss charity
SiMBA at Gourock Park to honour babies that have been lost by local
families during pregnancy. The Council has worked closely with SiMBA
to establish a tree of tranquility in the park, which is a beautiful memorial
to the babies we have lost. It is there to provide a place of peace and
thoughtfulness for parents and families to remember their loved ones.
Work is due to start this month to build a reservoir in Glen Moss,
Kilmacolm to reduce the risk of flooding in the centre of Kilmacolm
at Market Place. The Council is also tendering for flood prevention
measures at Gotter Water in Quarrier’s Village.
The Council’s Environment and Regeneration Committee has
approved further funding of £100,000 towards the upgrading of
footpaths in Kilmacolm Village Centre. This brings total funding to
£175,000. I don’t have a date yet for when this work will start.
At the time of writing part of the main road through Quarrier’s Village
– Craigbet Road – was due for resurfacing during the week beginning
22 August. I have been lobbying for this work to be carried out for
some time so I am pleased it now has been.
Surgery: Boglestone Community Centre on Tuesday 6th September
from 6.30pm to 7.30pm.
