"Keep Greenock Sugar Sheds a Community Space" is an Inverclyde based campaign initiated by Magic Torch, campaigning to ensure that a major part of our built heritage in Greenock is not "regenerated" into more sterile office space. We see a future for the massive building that provides genuinely accessible mixed use, including the potential to be a unique performance and recording space.
