Summary
Contractors building a new boathouse for the Loch Lomond Rescue Boat are facing public backlash—mistaken for Flamingo Land workers—despite the project’s lifesaving purpose. Since 1977, this 24/7 volunteer crew has battled delays up to 50 minutes just to reach their boat, thanks to A82 traffic. The new base will slash response times, especially during emergencies, and they’re even operating from a container now to prove how much faster they can act. With a £1M+ construction cost looming and their 50th anniversary next year, they’re launching a major fundraising drive. The confusion? It’s rooted in the area’s history with rejected Flamingo Land resort plans—but this rescue project is entirely separate, focused solely on saving lives. They’re asking the public to see past the noise and support their vital mission. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
