flag UK public funds for Greenock park upgrades spark backlash over lack of dock reopening and transparency.

flag A controversy has emerged over £3 million in public funds planned for upgrades to Inchgreen Marine Park in Greenock, Scotland, part of a larger £11 million investment in the area. flag Critics accuse Peel Ports, the private operator, of receiving significant public support while failing to invest in reopening the nearby mothballed dry dock, which could create skilled jobs and revive the region’s shipbuilding legacy. flag Though the council denies the plans are secret, arguing private review protected funding opportunities, campaigners say public money is being spent on infrastructure around an idle dock without sufficient accountability. flag The dispute highlights concerns over transparency and results in a project meant to boost Inverclyde’s economy through maritime and renewable industries.
