Largs business group BID have questioned the budget of the masterplan promenade plans.
Following a recent consultation, the design team and council officers will now take time to review the comments left and these will be considered in the next stage of the design development.
A Largs BID spokesman said: “The view of the majority of our directors is that too much is trying to be achieved with a small amount of money. Not having sufficient funds to re-invent Largs, it is felt that North Ayrshire Council would be better placed to invest the money on a quality repair with longevity. While some funds need to be spent to address some areas on the Promenade there is a feeling that money could have been better used on a quality development of, e.g. Gallowgate Square to improve its usefulness.”
The design presentation boards are still available to view on the council website and comments can be submitted to the dedicated email address regenerationlargs@north-ayrshire.gov.uk
A range of strong views were expressed concerning the new seafront promenade proposals at this week’s consultation in Largs.
The price tag of the development is £590,000, and will be designed by TGP Landscape Architects.
