what is a regeneration centre?

7˝ John Wood Street is Port Glasgow's new community regeneration centre, a place for Portonians to access advice, information and support. From counselling services and benefit advice through to healthy living and employability training, there are a huge range of opportunities on offer.

Regeneration is one of those words that gets used all the time. But what does it actually mean?

Is it a new Tesco? New houses? Safer streets?

Physical regeneration of an area is easy, that's just buildings, 7˝ John Wood Street is about ensuring the community of Port Glasgow isn't left behind in the regeneration process.

It provides space for support groups to come and deliver services within the Port - services which have not always been available here. It'll also provide space and support for new Port Glasgow based community groups to develop.

The Centre is also a place where people are able to get a right to reply on the issues affecting this community. And we're looking for the community to get involved in shaping the services on offer.

Genuinely.

We don't intend to sit here offering services people aren't interested in. We want to be as responsive as we can to the Port Glasgow community.

So drop in today for a visit. We'll show you round your centre, give you the latest on what services are on offer, and maybe you can give us a few suggestions of what else you'd like to see.
