Scottish Canals are about to submit their plans (Masterplan!) for major development around Bowling Basin. This follows on from the public charrettes held last year. As was expected this will include housing development on both sides of the canal, new roads and a new bridge east of the top lock. It will impact significantly on both villages - e.g. the two-lane access bridge connecting single-lane access roads either side of the canal suggests there will be another access road built at some point.
Bowling Community Council has details and a survey on this website www.bowlingsurvey.org.uk The plans will affect residents in both villages as well as the enjoyment of the many who walk and cycle along the canal. Please take a minute or two to look at the proposals and do the survey. http://www.bowlingbasin.com/news-events/bowling-basin-masterplan/
