THE chairman of Gourock Community Council says he is 'delighted' after it landed a £5,000 grant.

The money was handed over by Scotland's Towns Partnership as part of a 'love local' drive designed to boost shopping in the town.

Alan Holliday said: "We have a fantastic selection of businesses in the town, from national brands to long established independent vendors that offer a unique shopping experience.

"This cash will be a great help in promoting these businesses in what will be an incredibly challenging year as we all adjust and move towards a post pandemic recovery."
