From the Greenock Telegraph
A PLAN for a new £50,000 official site for Travellers has taken a step forward after a meeting of councillors today.
Members of the policy and resources committee met this afternoon to discuss a recommendation for a 'transit site' in Inverclyde.
Port Glasgow's Kelburn Park has been earmarked for the facility.
Councillors on the committee agreed to release the plans for a full public consultation.
Angry residents from the Port had started a petition calling for the proposal to be immediately shelved.
But municipal buildings bosses believe that establishing a formal site for Travellers could reduce the risk of illegal camps being set up elsewhere in the district.
The £50,000 site would have room for up to 12 pitches.
