PUBLIC Can Respond Over Plan To Change Gourock Pitch Into Car Park

INVERCLYDE Council is hoping to press ahead with a plan to turn a gravel sports pitch into a car parking area.

The public is being given the opportunity to raise objections over the proposal in Gourock Park at Drumshantie Road, Gourock.

A council statement explains: “The site is not currently widely used given the provision of other and more modern sports facilities in the general area.

“The proposed use will facilitate use of the adjacent all-weather sports pitch site, by providing useful, formalised car parking spaces which are not currently available in the area.”

The council say the design has yet to be finalised however a planning application submitted in November last year showed a car park with 166 spaces. The application is no longer on the planning department online portal.

Objections can be made up to 5pm on 1 December 2020 — more information is available online.
