There was another two day meeting by Scottish Canals– a “charrette” – held on 29th and 30th August, which was open to the public. Plans had been drawn up to develop the area although these were still at a consultation stage and had not been submitted to Planning.
The website to view their proposals is: http://www.bowlingbasin.com Included in the plan is a new access bridge over the canal to the Eastern edge of Bowling, to take vehicles over the canal and leading to a car park ‘hub’, and also with the possibility (subject to planning) of housing being developed on the north side of the canal and in the existing woodland which lies between the canal towpath and the line of the disused railway. As no plans have gone forward to planning yet, Clydebelt is not able to take any action except to monitor. Earlier plans for renovating the ‘Arches’ DC14/161 has been approved.
