Relocation of Waterloo Road
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the BBC’s decision to relocate its popular TV drama, Waterloo Road, to Inverclyde; considers that this will boost business both in Scotland and locally in Inverclyde to the tune of £25 million, creating up to 230 jobs both on and off-screen; further considers that there will be promotional benefits to the area through the five million viewers that watch the show; believes that it will boost training and development for young people looking to get involved in filming, and commends what it considers the crucial role of Inverclyde Council and the warm and positive welcome of the local community in the relocation of the hit TV show.
