Clydebank residents are being urged to provide feedback on a new long-term town plan.

Last year, it was announced that the town will be awarded £20 million funding as part of the UK Government's Long Term Plan for Towns initiative.

West Dunbartonshire Council will work closely with the Town Board to develop plans for use of the endowment-style funding, taking long-term action to enhance the town in a place-centred approach.

The funding spend will be guided by a Long Term Plan subject to approval from the UK Government.

The plan is set to build on the the Clydebank Town Centre Development Framework which was approved in 2021 and includes a 15-year vision for transformation of the town centre into a vibrant and attractive place.

West Dunbartonshire CVS recently contacted local community organisations to hear their views and now residents are being given a chance to shape the projects which will form part of the plan.

Two drop-in events will be held on Thursday 25th July and Friday 26th July between 11am and 2pm at Clydebank Shopping Centre.

Councillor David McBride, Convener of Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development, said: "This is an important step in this 10-year project which is set to breathe new life into Clydebank.

"It is vital that people who stay, work and visit the town get the chance to have their say."

Councillor Lawrence O'Neill, Vice Convener of Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development, said: "I would encourage anyone with an interest in Clydebank to go along to the drop-in events and help shape the future of the town for the better."
