McMillan Meets Minister to Discuss Flooding

Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) has today (Thursday) met with the Minister for Environment, Stewart Stevenson MSP, to discuss the on-going issue of flooding in West Scotland and particularly Inverclyde.
　
Earlier this week Inverclyde witnessed some of the worst weather conditions in Scotland which led to large scale flooding and disruption to transport links (car and rail).
　
Mr McMillan has been a vocal campaigner in the need for more robust flood prevention methods in Inverclyde.

Mr. McMillan said:

"Once again, Inverclyde has witnessed some of the worst weather conditions in Scotland, leading to large scale flooding which has affected our rail and road network.

"Alongside this, I know businesses have been left devastated at the level of flooding and the cost this will place on their livelihood.

"It’s vital all public bodies act to address these annual flooding problems affecting Inverclyde.　 For too long the people of this area have had to suffer.

"Therefore, I have made this clear to the Minister for Environment and asked the Scottish Government to offer what assistance it can to Inverclyde. I have called for a flooding summit so that all partners can work together for better flood prevention and a better Inverclyde."
