£100m theme park plan for Loch Lomond
- Thread starter Angus Og
- Start date
Every few years someone proposes an airport or a theme park for the Gwent Levels, between Newport and Chepstow, a wetland expanse like the Somerset levels (only less well known). It keeps the Gwent Wildlife Trust tied up in fighting th proposal whilst smaller developments get past under the radar. It never comes to anything, and wastes an awful lot of time and money.
My first thoughts were it can only be bads news, then reading a little deeper it might just do some good to educate those who are ignorant.
I'd like more details of the proposed scheme and the area which he's buying before I can say if I agree or not. The guy's done well for himself in the building trade so it's probably just another money making scheme as far as he's concerned, let's hope the national park see it another way.
Is this a cure to prevent the rowdy campers up the east shore I wonder ?

Something like this had to happen in the area, lets hope its done well. I guess if the chap has done his homework and put together a good package it would be hard to turn down. Potential perhaps for several thousand building jobs and then hundreds of jobs when it opens so from an economic point of view I'm sure it will be welcomed by many.

Hmmm, if the National park allows this then it should be stripped as a national park. I used to live 7miles from Loch Lomond and would hate to see it change like Aviemore has, too many houses and water abstraction from the Spey, in a national park.
There is a lot of variety on both banks of the loch, there is a fine line though between local investment and crass dreams though.
or expensive 'holiday camp' gulags that become the only places folks can stay.......
Loch Lomond already has several developments that aren't thriving and are underused. Strikes me it might well be a grab every grant available matchfunded scheme.
We'll see.
