DETAILS of a Flamingo Land “exclusivity agreement” have been called for by a Scottish Greens candidate seeking re-election in West of Scotland. Ross Greer has requested details from the Scottish Government of the “agreement” which means that land at Loch Lomond currently owned by Scottish Enterprise will be sold to Flamingo Land should planning permission be granted. A previous application to sell the plot of land on the shores of Loch Lomond was withdrawn after National Park planning officers joined West Dunbartonshire Council recommending refusal. However Scottish Enterprise says it still supports the principle of development at the site - and insists that its decision not to put its name to any future application is simply to avoid the potential for any conflict of interest in the event of Scottish ministers “calling in” new development plans.

Rangers & Police Scotland officers on patrol on Inchmoan South Beach, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park SCOTLAND’S national park is preparing for a surge in visitors after lockdown by increasing the numbers of staff and toilets and boosting car parking capacity. Last summer Loch Lomond and the Trossachs saw a huge increase in visitors as restrictions eased. At the time there were reports of a “tidal wave” of litter being left by day-trippers, while residents complained tourists had been urinating in public places as toilet facilities were shut. Groups also warned that in some villages and towns, where car parks were left closed, there was dangerous roadside parking and tailbacks.
