With COVID restrictions now removed it has been nice
to get the opportunity to go back into our local schools
to hear about the good work they are doing. In the past few weeks I have
attended parent council meetings in Kilmacolm Primary, Port Glasgow
High School and St Stephen’s High School. I have also attended the
annual awards ceremonies in both secondary schools to celebrate the
successes of our young people.
Much of my time is being taken up at the moment with ongoing
discussions around the Council’s budget. This is undoubtedly the most
challenging financial situation the Council has faced since I joined in 1999
as a result of inflationary pressures and government funding cuts. We
are going to have to make many difficult and unpopular decisions in the
months ahead to balance the books.
Many local households are also struggling to make ends meet at the
moment. If you are in that situation there are a range of local and national
support and advice services available to assist you. You will find details
in the following link www.worryingaboutmoney.co.uk/inverclyde. You
can also contact the Council’s Advice Services on 01475 715299 or email
Triage.Advice@inverclyde.gov.uk.
Works are now on site to construct a reservoir at Glen Mosston to reduce
the risk of flooding in Kilmacolm Village centre. Works at Gotter Water in
Quarrier’s Village are being re-tendered as no bids were received for the
first tender.
The Council is currently in discussions with Police Scotland about reducing
the speed limit in parts of Kilmacolm to 20mph following speed surveys
being undertaken. A new cycle storage rack is due to be installed shortly
in the public car park in front of Carriages as part of a wider strategy to
encourage cycling.
Surgery: Boglestone Community Centre, Tuesday 8th November 6.30pm
