Regenerating Greenock

Regeneration of the town centre will make Greenock:

• more attractive
• bring in more visitors
• create new opportunities

Key improvements include:

• redesigning and lowering the A78 flyover to ground level to improve access and create better connections to the town centre
• replacing the bullring roundabout with a new low-level road, connecting different parts of the town centre.
• developing new public spaces for the local community
• modernising retail space in the town centre by demolishing the A78 Dual Carriageway and 40% of the Oak Mall

New space will be created for a new learning quarter and campus. It will also create opportunities for a new cultural centre and quarter in the town centre around the Glebe Building.

Lastly, the improvements will make the town centre more accessible for residents and visitors.
