Signage proposals to go on display in Balloch from Monday 5th March

Residents and stakeholders in Balloch are being asked to feedback on signage proposals from Monday 5th March 2018 as part of wider public realm improvements to the village.

Building on the recent Balloch Village Plans (Street Design) project, Sustrans Scotland is working in partnership with West Dunbartonshire Council and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park to propose three types of signage throughout the village:

  • Gateways to create a sense of place and provide landmark entrances to either side of the village;
  • Information signage to provide direction within the village; and
  • Re-routing the National Cycle Network along Balloch Road to Balloch Country Park.

    • A fourth proposal is a piece of Community Artwork in the station area which could be designed in collaboration with the local community and the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. At this stage, interested parties are being asked to register their interest.

    Members of the public will be able to view and provide feedback on the signage proposals from Monday 5 March to Tuesday 20 March by:

  • Viewing the proposals outside the Tourist Information Centre, Balloch Train Station and at the Moss O’Balloch. Feedback forms will be available within the Tourist Information Centre, National Park Headquarters and Balloch Library for anyone wishing to comment;
  • Viewing the proposals on the project website: https://ballochproposals.commonplace.is/news
  • Attending a drop in event on Tuesday 20 March at the National Park Headquarters. Members of the public will be able to drop in anytime between 5pm and 8pm to view the proposals and provide feedback. There will also be an opportunity to register your interest in the Community Artwork piece, get an update on the overall public realm improvement project and wider ‘Live in Balloch’ Charrette actions.

    • For more information, please email street.design@sustrans.org.uk or phone 0131 346 1384
