Kilcreggan Responses 2019 Priority Areas for Improvement: Moving Traffic and Public Influence Around Parking Transport and Sense of Control How good is your place? Area wide engagement results using the Place Standard Tool Between May and October 2019, the Community Planning Partnership (CPP) used the Place Standard tool to engage residents in Argyll and Bute on how they feel about the place(s) that they live and work in Argyll and Bute. We are very grateful to all the responses that we received. We hope you find the information easy to understand and of interest to you and your community. We are pleased to see that the thematic areas of Natural Space, Feeling Safe, Identity and Sense of Belonging and Social Contact came out with the highest scores, needing the least improvement, when considering Argyll and Bute as a whole. The engagement has been undertaken at a place-based level and respondents provided their postcode, groupings of postcodes have created the settlement/community level detail. The results are available for community groups and partner agencies to use, for example, to assist with service planning or for community-led action plans. Please note: The information is the views of individuals who responded to the engagement. We trust that the information provided will be viewed within the context of which it is provided. We are grateful to all those who have taken part in the consultation and believe in sharing information for openness and transparency. We appreciate that the documents can be lengthy due to the amount of information and we hope that the format is user-friendly. If you have any questions, please see our Frequently Asked Questions Guide or contact Community Planning by e-mail: [email protected] , phone: 01546 604 464. Next steps This information is helping to shape plans for the area. Other information such as information from partners’ data and statistics is also used to consider priorities for improvement. The CPP will analyse the information to identify priority themes for improvement within each of the four administrative areas and shape actions to address these where this is possible with resources. We are currently mapping out what activity is already happening, what is planned within the next 3- 4 years and where the gaps are. This information will be considered by both the CPP Management Committee and the Area Community Planning Groups to shape the actions. The final agreed actions will become part of our four Area Community Planning Action Plans, due to be refreshed in 2021. To get involved, contact your local Area Community Planning Group.

More sheltered bus stops needed. More signage would help the area to tell visitors to the area where the good places to walk and cycle are in and around the village. No pathways from Rosneath to Kilcreggan/Cove, such a path would encourage walking to both Kilcreggan and also Rosneath caravan park None in area Not a good idea to try walking to the coop in Rosneath by road. Can go over the forestry track, but it’s an uneven surface. Not enough pavements at the bus shelter at Kilcreggan, need to drain floods at car park at Kilcreggan. Our house sits just outside the village and my wife and I walk daily, sometimes two or three times, to the village shops or to the pier for the ferry to Gourock. There is no pavement on the B833 until the village despite most of the route being 30mph rated. I do cycle about the village. This is ok. Our road is full of potholes, the edges of the road are eroding; there is no path or lights or cycle path. It is no safe to do so - it is not even safe to walk Pavements are in poor condition, difficult for those who walk with a walking stick. Pavements are small and slope - not great for young children as cars come round tight bends and are very close to where you are walking. Pavements could be improved for disabled access. Pavements in Cove and Kilcreggan a problem Pavements narrow and broken sometimes non-existent. Road is generally dangerous with speeding traffic. Poor kerbs, fast road (30mph?). Overhanging hedges etc. can push you onto road. Poor rain runaway in known places. More could be made of safe cycling. Roads and pavements are shocking! Looks like another round of spray and chip all set to go all over the peninsula judging by the closed laybys and giant piles of stone in each all through summer once again. Spray and chip is a cheap fix for a huge problem that will not go away until the roads and pathways are repaired properly. In the meantime walking, cycling and are other modes of transport and recreational ventures are seriously hindered by the sheer lack of acceptable road and pavement surfacing - health and safety issues staring the council in the face and totally being ignored!

Signage between Rosneath and Kilcreggan for forest path is needed - safer and quicker than road for walking. Pavement continuation to caravan park. Some good walking across Rosneath peninsula and beyond bit cycling is very poor and dangerous with too many cycling on poor roads. cycle path design needs to get off road, make paths smoother (no 90 degree bends etc) and respect pedestrians The roads around the Rosneath Peninsula are very poor, not to say dangerous, for cycling. The road between Kilcreggan and Rosneath is not good for walking either. There are none.... Too dangerous to cycle on the road, no known cycle routes. Pavement too narrow, need to walk in single file. Q2. Public Transport: Does public transport meet my needs? 25 responses in total – Average Score of 3.6 Score of 1 Score of 2 Score of 3 Score of 4 Score of 5 Score of 6 Score of 7 No response 5 3 5 1 8 2 1 0 responses responses responses responses responses responses responses responses Comments A later bus service and ferry service would see more use Buses are hourly Monday to Saturday which is I think as much as can be expected. Sunday service is only every two hours which is insufficient. Also last bus back to the village from Helensburgh is too early. Buses needed for Portincaple Ferry is great, use it often. Bus to Helensburgh I use only infrequently. Bit of a white knuckle ride, but the drivers know the road well. Ferry link to Gourock is reasonable. Could do with service into early evening and Sunday too. Bus also reasonable. If the ferry and bus actually coordinated their timetables that would help a lot. Same to be said for ferry arriving at Gourock pier. Mostly on disembarking you see the train leave the station Generally good but Kilcreggan ferry still a bit hit and miss. Could 316 bus extend to Coulport every half hour in mornings and evenings? Last bus from Helensburgh is 10pm. One at 11pm would be helpful. Later ferry service and Sunday service needed and late bus on a Friday and Saturday to connect with the last train from Glasgow. Half hourly bus service. Limited ferry service. Unable to access Gourock after 1830, which means that appointments at dentist; Inverclyde infirmary have to take place during the day. It also means that I have to leave Glasgow no later than 1630 in order to make the ferry, ruling out any social life with colleagues. No Sunday service - cannot access swimming pool and gymnasium. More frequent buses No ferry on a Sunday! Buses not suitable for disabled users why???? Are disabled people not entitled to access the same services as able bodied people in the 21st century? Not enough bus shelters in Kilcreggan. Not enough buses to commute the public about. One an hour is not a good enough amount.

Situation Letter Layo is set amidst mature, carefully tended gardens with wonderful southerly open aspects over Loch Long and the Firth of Clyde. Nearby Cove, Killcreggan and Peaton were established around the mid 19th century and initially were used mainly as destinations for summer houses, but as time went on permanent occupation took place. Originally there were ferries to Cove and Killcreggan, but today Killcreggan Pier remains the only traditional pier on the Clyde still in daily use. The peninsula has rich architectural heritage with Victorian mansions, castles and cottages with famous architects such as Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson, William Lever and John Honeyman among the many to build impressive homes for wealthy clients.

    Argyll and Bute Landscape Wind Energy Capacity Study FINAL APPENDIX REPORT March 2012 ArgyllandButeLandscapeWindEnergyCapacityStudy AppendixReport–DetailedSensitivityAssessments March2012 Carol Anderson and Alison Grant, Landscape Architects Contents 1. Introduction to the sensitivity assessments 2. Detailed sensitivity assessment for landscape character types 3. Detailed sensitivity assessment for National Scenic Areas 2 1 Introduction to the sensitivity assessment 1.1 Sensitivity assessments have been undertaken for each character type and any sub-types defined and for the National Scenic Areas (NSA) as explained in Section 4 of the Main Study Report. 1.2 The sensitivity assessment considers sensitivity of each character type or NSA to four different wind farm/turbine typologies. An introduction to each character type is set out in the sensitivity assessments that follow. This clarifies the approach to assessment in terms of whether the whole landscape character type or sub-divisions of that type have been assessed. It also describes where any changes have been made to the boundaries or classification of character types set out in the Argyll and Firth of Clyde Landscape Assessment. Operational and consented wind farm developments, whether located within the landscape type/unit or in the surrounding area (and clearly visible from the character type being assessed), are described. A similar approach is taken for the NSA assessments although the introduction principally focuses on the description of the designated landscape and its special qualities. 1.3 This Appendix Report contains the detailed sensitivity assessment tables for landscape character types and NSAs (a summary of these only being included in the Main Study Report). The sensitivity scores outlined in the summary of sensitivity are made on the basis of a five point scale; High, High-medium, Medium, Medium-low and Low.

    A Walk on the Beach at the Southern Tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute

    A walk on the beach at the southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula, Argyll & Bute. The air, the water and the land, and sadly, the litter. Tam Ward. 2019. A tiny part of Scotland – with so much to offer. Rosneath Peninsula and Upper Clyde Estuary, The southern tip of Rosneath Peninsula Argyll & Bute 1 The sky was a bland but beautiful shade of pale blue interrupted only by occasional and ever changing clumps of fluffy topped white and grey clouds, constantly modifying themselves into slowly moving and ever changing shapes, of curly topped travellers heading to some unknown destination across the horizons. The airborne islands of pearly white seemed endless in their seemingly mysterious source as the continued their journey – appearing from somewhere – and disappearing to – another place. Gareloch Gareloch and Helensburgh The skyward scene is only occasionally interrupted by the apparently motiveless flight of a bird or flock of them, sometimes alone but on other occasions as a flight of well-meaning direction, especially at some specific spot on the beach where they will swoop down as if with a single mind, perhaps sensing a good spot for lunch, or just taking a chance on one. Further out, especially if the sea is flat, the expert divers of gannet, tern or cormorant will streak down and disappear in a little flash of sparkling water, to erupt again some distance away, and If they were lucky, as they usually are – with their beak held quarry. Now and then a frenzy of such activity by a gang of birds would indicate a hapless shoal of fish had been detected near the surface.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.
