Bo'ness Masterplan

Bo’ness Town Centre Vision and Masterplan

Falkirk Council have appointed a consultant team, led by Austin-Smith:Lord, to work with the local community (residents, businesses, civic groups) and other key stakeholders to prepare a Town Centre Vision and Masterplan for Bo’ness. It is intended that this work will shape the future of the Town Centre and help direct future funding and investment to deliver an improved quality of life.

The purposes of the Town Centre Vision and Masterplan are to:

·      outline a positive future for the Town Centre as the heart of Bo’ness

·      identify public spaces and buildings to prioritise for improvement

·      suggest what extra activities and uses could help the Town Centre and Bo'ness to thrive

·      make it easier to get to and around the Town Centre and Foreshore

·      identify priorities for action and investment

It is intended that this Town Centre Vision and Masterplan will help inform the next Local Development Plan (LDP3). The Town Centre Masterplan is progressing in tandem with the community's own Local Place Plan for the whole of Bo’ness, facilitated by the Coalfields Regeneration Trust.

In combination the Town Centre Masterplan and Local Place Plan are intended to capture the key issues and suggest priority actions and proposals to inform the future of Bo’ness into the 2030s.
