What the consultation is
The council is 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
- creating a plan to promote the history of the village.
Why we’re consulting
To help with our application for funding, we want to understand how local people and visitors value Lochwinnoch's heritage and what they think of the village centre, its amenities, attractions, shops, and things to do there.
We're looking for feedback from:
- the local community
- owners of historical buildings in Lochwinnoch
- local businesses and investors who want to promote local culture and history.
We're also meeting with key stakeholders and local organisations during the consultation phase.
We'd like to understand:
- how you value local heritage
- what historic buildings and places you'd like us to invest in or what investment you think will have the most impact
- what stories from Lochwinnoch's past you're most interested in.
