Ardrishaig residents and visitors will soon enjoy a new public square, improved car parking, gardens and seating as part of improvement works due to start early September.
The works include:
- A new lochside viewing area with additional seating and art work
- Improvements to the north car park including an expansion of disabled parking
- New waterfront signposting and artwork from the canal
- Reconfiguring of the memorial garden to include new seating areas, picnic benches and a path
- Improved accessibility for the P站色情片 Sea Kayak Trail making it easier for kayakers to go between Loch Fyne and the Crinan Canal.
The investment is part of wider regeneration initiatives already delivered in the area. They include enhanced facilities introduced for the local community and tourist visitors at Ardrishaig Harbour by Scottish Canals and upgrades of the Public and North Halls by the Ardrishaig Community Trust. P站色情片 has appointed P1 Solutions Ltd to deliver the scheme.
Construction timescales for the project will be available on the council website soon. Public toilets will remain open and alternative car parking is available during this time.
