Balloch residents have urged final decision-maker the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority not to let the beauty spot be turned into a 'cash cow'.
Campaigners against Flamingo Land’s Loch Lomond mega resort have slammed the local council after they reversed their previous opposition to the bid.
That marked a u-turn on the local authority’s previous outright opposition to the first Flamingo Land bid to build on the Bonnie Banks, ditched due to local anger in 2019. A previous survey found 74 per cent of locals opposed the plan - while the Scottish Greens claim the new bid has now had more than 84,000 objections.
“That should be reason enough, not considering the other hard facts in reference to the environmental impacts, the economic reasons and so on.“That land really should be utilised for the people, run by the people, for the people, for the betterment of our local community.The local mum, who addressed West Dunbartonshire Council’s meeting on Wednesday, suggested local chiefs were “breaching due process” by not taking into account community objections.
