🚨BREAKING

The Scottish Government has announced it's cancelling Scotland's new National Park in Galloway.

This is devastating news for the local community and nature, slamming the door on the new investment and powers it would have brought.

A betrayal of people and planet.

I’m a local and with the infrastructure being as bad as it, cancelling the park is the safest option. Until the A75 is vastly improved there shouldn’t be any talk of a NP.

Would having park status push the area's infrastructure further to the front of the queue for upgrades?

mrspotterymum.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Nah. That was the problem.

Shame that. Lot of money to be had for communities in public parks. Maybe sometime soon.

We would t have seen a penny of the Np cash. It would have gone on Hugh level committee wages and a few rangers who would get min wage.

Fault of the SNP again that they can’t get the upkeep of that road right.
Shocking mismanagement.

Would take far more than the Scottish govt budget to fix. The money needs to come from WM but they don’t care past the border.

mrred8691.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Bollocks. SNP have a budget more than enough and got an extra £1.2 billion from WM last budget so don’t give me WM this WM that,makes Scottish people sound incapable of taking responsibility for themselves.
So you’re telling me they have no money for that road and that’s the problem?🙈🙈
Unbelievable.

I’m really disturbed by the ‘decisions’ coming from ScotGov. First interfering in a planning process at Loch Lomond and this. Completely lost the plot and no doubt the election next year

I think it is time to cancel my @snp.org membership over this.

mrred8691.bsky.social•20 hours ago

And are people just seeing now that the SNP has done nothing but harm to Scotland?
Better late than never I suppose.

Desperate stuff from the SNP. If we all kowtowed to a minority within the community, nothing would get done for the benefit of the many. The SNP delivering on behalf of Scottish landowners and not its citizens. Flamingo Land all over again.

When it comes to the countryside, the S in SNP might as well stand for "spineless" - but we're no goany greet aboot it in Galloway. We'll survive, which can't be safely said about the poor folk living near the planned & approved Loch Lomond Flamingo Park. Government-sponsored vandalism, that is.

Shady…. More shady 👍

It's not fully approved yet. There are 49 conditions to be satisfied . Will they? https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/people/flamingo-land-loch-lomond-yorkshire-government-planning-permission-in-principle-5133261

I visited Loch Lomond a couple of weeks ago. It was beautiful. The last thing it needs is a “Flamingo World”.
