As you will recall from the newsletter there is Committee Approval to split the developer contributions between one major recreational project and a range of smaller projects. The major proposal relates to the Policy Bing and is to provide pitches, a multi-use games area and landscaping. Included in the smaller scale projects are landscape and environmental improvements to the east of Lionthorn, and the enhancement of the Fox Covert parking area.
Work is ongoing on the implementation of these projects, and an internal officer working group has been established to oversee progress on the various projects, and establish responsibility for their implementation. The major project at the Policy Bing will be taken forward by FC’s Community Services, and work has commenced in assessing ground conditions, costs, master planning and match funding opportunities. I would stress that this is a complex project which in terms of timescale, Community Services have indicated 2-3 years to complete.
Central Scotland Forest Trust (CSFT) is currently working on a masterplan for planting/environmental proposals for the area to the east of Lionthorn, and have already produced some outline proposals for internal discussion purposes. These proposals will very much provide a landscape setting for the sports provision at the Policy Bing.
Work on proposals to enhance the Fox Cover parking area have not commenced, however a shorter timescale is envisaged for this project and it is hoped that construction could commence within a year.
