Planning consultation meetings
06/03/2009 15:51:00
Orkney Islands Council is reminding the public that they are invited to a series of consultation events to discuss the future growth and development of the county's largest villages; Finstown, Dounby and St Margaret's Hope.
All three are to be the subject of individual masterplan studies, similar to the work carried out in Kirkwall and Stromness last year.
The community planning event in Dounby is on Tuesday March 10 at the Dounby Community School, Wednesday March 11 at the Cromarty Hall in St Margaret's Hope and Thursday March 12 at Firth Community School.
Key areas to be discussed include the strengths, weaknesses and
opportunities within each village, consideration of the role each
village plays within Orkney, the future options for growth and
development, the coordination of future development proposals and
potential environmental improvements.
