Claims SNP is 'railroading through' resort planning review

- BY DAN VEVERS Chief Reporter

THE Scottish Government has been accused of trying to “railroad through" Flamingo Land's Loch Lomond resort.

Labour MSP for Dumbarton Jackie Baillie said SNP minister Ivan McKee was treating local opponents to the controversial £43.5million bid with “disdain” and added he should not be allowed to decide the case.

It comes after the proposed Lomond Banks resort in Balloch by Yorkshire theme park firm Flamingo Land was rejected by Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park last year.
