Greenock’s council is seeking to attract immigrants to settle in the town as it attempts to reverse a decline in the local population.
The proposal places migration at the centre of efforts to support Greenock’s future population. The council’s stated aim is to encourage people from elsewhere to move to the town and make it their home.
The available information does not set out how many new residents Greenock hopes to attract, which countries or communities it is targeting, or what specific measures would be used to encourage migration. It also does not provide details of any timetable or wider programme.
The council’s position reflects concern about the town’s declining population and the potential consequences of having fewer residents. At this stage, no further official response, implementation details or next steps have been provided in the supplied material.
