Redevelopment of Hermitage Park Underway

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes news that the regeneration and redevelopment of Hermitage Park in Helensburgh is officially underway; understands that contractors arrived at the site recently to begin what will be 18 months’ worth of work breathing life into the park; recognises that the regeneration has been as a result of the six-year partnership between Argyll and Bute Council, Friends of Hermitage Park and the local community; notes that the regeneration will bring a whole host of new amenities to the park including a new playground, a new pavilion with a covered deck for use in lawn games and a new fountain plaza, as well as upgrades to current areas of the park, such as the memorial garden, and the old play park will become a new area for growing fruit and vegetables; further notes that the £3.3 million regeneration of the park has been funded by a range of different groups, including the Heritage Lottery Fund’s Parks for People initiative, the Sustrans Community Links Programme, Argyll and Bute Council, the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, the War Memorial Trust and the Friends of Hermitage Park Association, and thanks everyone involved for their dedication to regenerating Hermitage Park for the community.
