Old Kilpatrick to Dumbarton, Dumbarton

Description:

The town centre improvements and upgrade of Levengrove Park are designed to help lift the image and perception of Dumbarton. Proposals seek to prioritise improvements that could support Dumbarton Town Centre and strengthen its role as both a principal service centre and a sustainable residential location.

One of the key considerations is to ensure that the proposals for flood defence and the potential new canal is integrated in a way which assists placemaking and improves the image and perception of the town centre.

Current status:

Identified as strategic project. Next steps to be agreed.
