The Heatmap is now closed for comments

Raploch Street Design online heatmap has now been closed for comments. Thank you, everyone who shared their views and ideas with us to date - your contribution will be essential to our proposals.

If you have missed the deadline don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to be involved and have your say, as we will have a series of engagement activities running from now until next June 2019. If you'd like to stay updated about the events and activities, please subscribe to our news page. You can find the subscribe button on the top right of this page.

What did the community say?

Have a look at what the Raploch community shared by clicking here . Over 200 people have visited the interactive map, leaving 103 comments about the street, and ideas for how they would like to improve it. This is a great result!

What else has happened?

The Raploch Street Design project team have held survey events at Forthbank Care Home and Forth Valley College, where we asked residents, staff and students for their views and ideas. Surveys have also been available at the Hub at the Campus, for the local community to answer and share their views with us. Thanks to this, the views shared online and at the successful Launch Session, we have gathered over 300 comments about the project area of Raploch Street Design. This has given us unique and valuable information on how local residents and commuters feel about the street.

Finally, we have held the first Community Liaison Group meeting. The Community Liaison Group is a group of residents and representatives from different community groups in Raploch, that will come together every quarter to discuss the Raploch Street Design Project, give the project team new ideas for engagement, and help us reach out to as many people as possible. If you would like to be part of this group, please email Irene at irene.tortajada@sustrans.org.uk

What's next?

The next stage of the project includes a series of walking audits of the area with residents with different mobility issues and children from all three primary schools; the second big engagement event where we together we will create a scale model of how you would like the street to look, and plenty of other activities directed at different groups.

Remember to subscribe at the top right to stay informed - we will share more info on events, and the content gathered so far very soon.
