PROPOSALS for a containerised food servery/take away outlet at the layby on the A78 at Inverkip have been lodged with Inverclyde Council.

The outlet would be open from 7am to 7pm in summer and from 9am to 5pm in the winter.

A statement submitted by the applicant explains: “The lay-by and surrounding area is becoming a healthy outdoors sports activity hub for various leisure and recreation groups.

“The addition of a small food and drinks outlet therefore has the potential to act as a focal point to support these groups, encouraging water sports on the beach and also walkers, joggers and cyclists.”

It continues: “The design objectives are to achieve a fully self-contained outlet in a sustainable way which is as unobtrusive and contemporary as possible.”
