Make this Flamingo Land's last chance

Green MSP urges Swinney to rip up exclusivity deal with theme park operator

FLAMINGO Land's exclusive rights to land on the banks of Loch Lomond should end if its latest bid for a megaresort fails, John Swinney has been urged.

The theme park operator signed an exclusivity agreement with quango Scottish Enterprise in 2016, meaning only it can buy the public land in Balloch.

And despite dropping its original planning application to build a £40million resort at the site in 2019 amid public anger, Flamingo Land had its rights to the land renewed in 2020.
