Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ and Bute Council is seeking feedback from people in Campbeltown on plans to improve walking and cycling routes in the town.
Following an initial community consultation in February, the council’s design team has undertaken an options appraisal and concept design for walking and cycling improvements along Campbeltown Esplanade and around Kinloch Park.
Now the council is inviting members of the public to a drop-in event at The Town Hall on the 28 August between 6pm and 8pm to see the emerging concept plan.
The project, funded by Transport Scotland, aims to improve the walking, wheeling and cycling environment linking the town centre and Dalintober area along the Esplanade and through Kinloch Park, including the provision of links into the neighbouring communities.
The proposals address various aspects of the plans that the local community identified as priorities during a stage 1 consultation earlier this year, including more pedestrian crossing opportunities, improving the public realm area around the war memorial and Kinloch Park, and improved parking provision on the Esplanade.
The council’s Policy Lead for Roads, Transport and Amenity Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ, Councillor John Armour, said: “While we’re trying to encourage as many people as possible to travel to destinations without using their car where possible, we know that infrastructure doesn’t always allow for that.
“We want to change this, to give people a better range of transport choices, all of which contributes to our targets for a climate-friendly Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æ and Bute. That is why it is important that people go along to this event so we can identify their needs to help shape our walking and cycling travel routes.â€
