AN MSP has slammed the company behind Flamingo Land as they plan to go ahead with the plan to build a mega-resort at Loch Lomond despite flooding warning.
The environmental watchdog has said the plan to build lodges will need to change as their proposed site for building them is a serious flood risk, but developers have said their plans are covered as the site was previously used.Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer has called the bosses behind the proposed theme park “grossly irresponsible” and has called for their plans to be rejected by the National Park Authority.
“Balloch does not want or need over a hundred woodland lodged and almost four hundred parking spaces, never mind a waterpark, hotel and monorail scarring one of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes. “The fact that this part of the site had a railway on it 40 years ago will be irrelevant when it's underwater."Previously submitted plans said there would be an increase of 158 additional journeys during the peak hour of 5.30-6.30pm, but that number has been updated to 253.
