The seven-figure investment will be plunged into a series of improvements within the LLTNP Place Programme, seeing planned upgrades and improvements being introduced across some of the Park's busiest sites.

Proposed improvements at Balloch Pierhead have moved into design planning, following positive engagement with local communities and stakeholders earlier this year.

Other infrastructure improvements put forward for investment are major upgrades at the Falls of Falloch, while work is also progressing towards delivery of the first phase of improvements at the East Loch Lomond site in Rowardennan.

At Balloch Pierhead, the National Park Authority and West Dunbartonshire Council are continuing to work in partnership to advance designs for Phase 1 improvements following public consultation and publication of the Balloch Pierhead Improvement Action Plan earlier this year.

Phase 1 will focus on a new operations hub, improved pedestrian movement with better accessibility, and enhanced public spaces along the shoreline.
