News on Raploch Street Design

The design proposals for Raploch Road and Drip Road connecting to the college are now uploaded on our website ( https://raploch.commonplace.is/overview ) for you to review and comment on – go ahead and have your say!

Our proposals are based on the hundreds of comments and suggestions from residents, business owners and young people we have gathered online and through almost 30 meetings and activities. But we’re still gathering feedback: none of the designs are final. We need your help to figure out if they are right for the community, and will change them according to your views.

The designs will be available on our website for you to comment until the 5th of April.

If you scroll down each design page you will find a series of questions about your opinion on the proposals; this will help us make sure we haven’t missed your views on any aspect of the design.

Last Friday the 15th of March we held our Explore the Design event in Raploch Community Campus, where we showed our design proposals and collected feedback from over 100 residents and commuters . On the same date, we also published the designs on this website, for everyone to easily access them at home and provide feedback online.

(more on this in our next blog post)

If you couldn’t make it last Friday but would like to see the designs in person, they’re now exhibited on the ground level of Raploch Community Campus, where you can leave your feedback using one of our questionnaires and a ballot box until the 5th of April. For more detailed information about alternative ways to give feedback, see our blog post below.

· Design Feedback Drop-in Sessions

10:30 – 12:30, 28th of March and 4th of April, ground level of Raploch Community Campus.

· Community Liaison Group meeting

10:30 – 12:00, 29th of March, Room 3 Raploch Community Campus.

In this meeting, we will discuss the designs in detail with our community group. Everyone welcome to join.

· May Public Event

In May we may be able to run a trial of some of our design proposals on the street, to see how they could transform the area. It would likely focus on the Huntly Place section. Please subscribe to this page to stay updated.
