A BINGO hall in Greenock has had a full house of vaccine patients over the last few weeks. Bingo 3,000 has stepped in to do its bit in the fight against coronavirus as it helps Ardgowan Medical Practice roll out the second Covid-19 jag. Practice manager Angela Owens said she had been looking for a suitable venue for their 75+ and shielding patients and she thought the bingo hall would be ideal. A total of 7,000 patients have been vaccinated over the last four weeks. Angela said: Our first vaccination roll-out was in Greenock Town Hall and at Greenock Health Centre, but when the Town Hall became a mass vaccination centre, we had to find another venue because of social distancing.

A GREENOCK town centre thoroughfare axed from a major free wireless internet rollout nearly two years ago is set to be reinstated to it dependent on other projects and the impact of Covid. West Blackhall Street seen as the town s traditional high street was removed from the £185,000 contract in April of 2019 due to council budgeting constraints. But now the cobbled street is being seen as an important addition to the overall Smart Town programme other factors permitting. An Inverclyde Council spokesman said: Following a review of the programme, we were able to identify opportunities where we could build upon the good work that had already been done, utilise existing resources and link in with other projects, including the new Greenock Ocean Terminal development and the planned regeneration of West Blackhall Street, to extend coverage into more areas, including West Blackhall Street itself and surrounding town centre locations.
