Have your say on village project

Lochwinnoch consultation

- JACK THOMSON, LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER

Lochwinnoch residents and visitors have until next Friday to share their views on a proposal for an ambitious heritage-led regeneration project within the village's conservation area.

Renfrewshire Council has encouraged people to participate in the consultation, which has been canvassing opinion since the start of last month and will close on July 11.

A statement said: "We're applying to the National Lottery heritage fund and Historic Environment Scotland for funding to develop a proposal for a heritage-led regeneration project within the Lochwinnoch conservation area. If we get funding, this initial project will look at investing in Lochwinnoch's built heritage and historical buildings [and] creating a plan to promote the history of the village.
