Select Committee on Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Written Evidence


Memorandum submitted by Argyll & Bute Council

  Argyll & Bute Council are delighted to be working in partnership with British Waterways to progress development plans to enhance Ardrishaig's waterfront and the area surrounding the Crinan Canal.

  The Ardrishaig Masterplan, developed in partnership with Ardrishaig's Community, Argyll and Bute Council, Highland & Islands Enterprise Argyll and the Islands and British Waterways Scotland, provides a development framework which will guide the redevelopment of the Ardrishaig's waterfront. Integral to the plan is the opportunity to enhance the built environment maximising residential, business, leisure, tourist and yachting potential.

  The masterplan provides a clear framework of the partner's shared aspirations, upon which detailed architectural designs can be worked up.

  British Waterways Scotland is considering options to ensure the scheme can be developed to deliver its regeneration aspirations for Ardrishaig.

  Argyll & Bute Council looks forward to continued working with British Waterways and Ardrishaig's community to ensure what we deliver benefits for those who live in, work in, and visit Ardrishaig.

Yours faithfully

James McLellan, Chief Executive

Argyll & Bute Council
