Brave New Brodick

The ‘Arran Economic Group’ are preparing a Development Strategy for Brodick Harbour and the surrounding area to encourage its transformational development. As far as we know this survey hasn’t been announced in the media, but it is of great interest to Arran residents and we would encourage you to take part. In particular the future of the existing CalMac terminal building is being discussed. In our opinion this would be an ideal location for the Tourist Office and Visit Arran, but your view may be different. However, if you don’t take part in the survey, you will have no right to complain when another use is found for the building.

The Development Strategy will help coordinate public sector agencies, the local business community and other community groups, maximising the economic benefits of the following projects:

• Reuse and potential redevelopment of the Brodick Pier and former pier facilities.
• Reuse of the existing Terminal Building.
• Redevelopment potential of the Market Road Industrial area.

Consultation with local business and interest groups is critical to the success of preparing this Development Strategy. Please click on this link to participate: Brodick Harbour Development

Survey responses must be received by Monday the 9th January 2017.
