It records the condition of our road assets and provides a means of identifying and prioritising the overall funding needs. This report discusses the status of our road assets in terms of extent, value and condition and presents the projected outcome of a number of investment options. The options and scenarios presented aim to assist with the budget setting process and identify where investment should be prioritised. The cost of replacing all road infrastructure assets is estimated at £4.5bn. The level of investment required to maintain our roads infrastructure in its current condition (steady state) is estimated at £30.1m per year; this equates to an annual investment of 0.67% of the total asset value. The Report contains a section for each road asset that outlines: 1. Asset Overview 2. Asset Condition. 3. Investment Options. The pie charts below illustrate and compares the annual level of investment required to maintain the asset in its current condition against the current level of investment. Steady State Investment - £30.1m Current Investment - £30.5m 1 2. Footways and Cycleways The Council is responsible for the maintenance of 3,126km of footways & 277km of Cycleways.

  • Balloch Charrette Report Final Issue 16Th May 2016
    Balloch Charrette Report Final Issue 16th May 2016 Executive Summary Balloch is a village situated on the southern tip of Loch Lomond and as such, is viewed as a southern gateway to the National Park as well as a destination in its own right for day trips and short stays to enjoy the Loch. The Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and West Dunbartonshire Council, supported by Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government, appointed 7N Architects and Nick Wright Planning to carry out a Charrette in Balloch in March 2016. The purpose of the Charrette was to undertake an appraisal of Balloch in its current state through a series of design-led workshops to identify opportunities for co-ordinated action that can benefit the local community, the visitor economy and make Balloch an even better place. A series of community design workshops were held at the National Park Headquarters in Balloch, supported by targeted engagement at local schools, local businesses and community group engagement and an active online discussion on the LIVE Park facebook page. This Charrette Report pulls together the outcome of the Charrette process and sets out a series of indicative proposals and recommendations shaped by the local community that can go forward for use by partners locally to act as a collective action plan for the future of Balloch. It acts as a framework that ensures development in Balloch works best for the village. 7N Architects 7 Randolph Place Edinburgh EH3 7TE tel +44 (0) 131 220 5541 www.7Narchitects.com Balloch’s idyllic setting, viewed from the South East The Charrette 01 Balloch’s idyllic setting, viewed from the South East Introduction Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and West Dunbartonshire Council appointed 7N Architects and Nick Key areas of focus for the Wright Planning to carry out a Charrette in Balloch in Charrette were identified February/March 2016.
