News on Raploch Street Design

The Explore the Design stage of the project, where we shared our design ideas and gathered feedback on them, started the 15th of March and has now come to an end. Since then, over 2,000 people have seen the designs either on our website or at events, and we have received over 500 comments!

Our website is now closed for comments, but you can still see everyone's contributions and the design proposals here: https://raploch.commonplace.is/overview

These are all the activities we have held to make sure you got to have a say:

Public Session, 15th March: This was the big launch of this stage, where we showed the designs for the first time and gathered your views.

Website Launch, 15th March: We uploaded the designs to our website here: https://raploch.commonplace.is/overview , for people to be able to comment online. Since its launch:

Drop-in Sessions, 28th March, 4th and 11th of April: We held 3 drop-in sessions where people could come share their views about the design and ask questions.

Community Liaison Group Meeting, 29th March: We held a meeting with the community group we have established for the project, to discuss the designs in details and gather their thoughts.

Community Council Meeting, 1st April: The team attended the April Raploch Community Council meeting to invite them to comment on the design and attend our drop-ins.

Forthbank Care Home Session, 1st April: We presented the designs to residents, staff and relatives at the care home, and asked them for their views.

We are now in the process of changing the design ideas according to the comments we have gathered. We will present the changed designs at the start of June, on our website and in public events. Keep an eye out on this page to stay updated!
