Give us your views about improving public spaces

Discover Lanark is undertaking an important public consultation and would like to invite you to complete our online survey: Lanark Town Centre Public Space Survey

Currently there is limited high quality public space in the town centre. Over the last couple of years, Hyndford Place and the area by the Tolbooth have been used very successfully as outdoor seating areas and for events such as Jurassic Lanark and Winter Wonderland. The recent experience of COVID-19 has highlighted just how valuable outside space is as a focal point for the community whether to sit, eat, socialise or indeed take part in an activity or event.

Feedback after these projects has generally been very positive with views expressed on how the spaces could be improved in the future and what they might be best used for.

Discover Lanark would like to find out how you wish to see these two spaces used and developed. We hope that this consultation will lead to a funding application to the Place Based Investment Fund to deliver substantial improvements in the near future.

Our Online Survey is available until Monday 18 April so please do give us your views.

The results from the survey will be analysed alongside the feedback we have already received from a recent week-long Drop In event at The Tolbooth and a Public Forum held on 18 March.
