Ardrishaig improvement plans on view

Final designs for the latest proposed redevelopment work in Ardrishaig can now be viewed online.

A consultation is available until Friday February 26 at www.ardrishaig.net

It is part of the Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund, set up by Argyll and Bute Council to make important public spaces in Mid Argyll more attractive and easier to use.

The aim is to create appealing spaces around Ardrishaig North Hall and waterfront, as in the artist’s impression right, to encourage people to enjoy and spend time in the area. Part of the plan is to improve walking, cycling and scooting links between Ardrishaig waterfront and the Crinan Canal tow path.

Funding comes from the council’s Tarbert and Lochgilphead Regeneration Fund and Transport Scotland through the Sustrans Places for Everyone programme.

The drawings available to view online are the final design proposals, bringing together ideas from previous public consultations over the past two years.

This final consultation will give everyone an opportunity to see the proposals before a planning application is submitted in coming months. Anyone with no internet can contact Douglas Grierson on 01546 604228.

Policy lead for business, regeneration and commercial development Councillor Alastair Redman said: ‘Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to offer suggestions on proposals to get us this far. Ardrishaig, like all our seaside towns, has fantastic potential as a great place to live, work and visit. This investment will further enhance its attractions and bring tourism and business development to the area as we work to grow our economy and our population.’
