Proposal for new cycle path takes step forward

Changes may need to be made to final design

- ANDREW GALLOWAY

Surveys have begun on the proposed Helensburgh to Dumbarton cycle path route - but parts of the design may have to be amended.

Eleven landowners have been identified by Argyll and Bute Council officers, and all have agreed to allow surveys on their land.

The survey work is estimated to be complete by spring 2026.

However, a council officer has also reported that due to a number of identified delivery challenges, the planned route of the path will require review.

Any changes can only be determined after surveys.

The details are published in a report which was discussed at the council’s Helensburgh and Lomond area committee on Tuesday, September 9.
