Controversial plans to attract a casino to a Scottish town which has suffered decades of decline have resurfaced.
Stranraer was first granted a casino licence in 2007 – but no operator ever came forward. Now, 17 years later, the local council is asking if any operators are interested in applying to run a casino in the south west Scotland town.
The deadline is on Friday – but do local people think this is the right way to revitalise the port’s derelict waterfront?
Opinions on the streets of the Wigtownshire town seem to be split on the question. Steve Stringer, owner of The Sports Shop on George Street, says he has “mixed feelings”.
