Volunteers are being sought to help shape the future of Cove and Kilcreggan.
The villages’ Our Community project aims to produce a local place plan, meaning that ideas and proposals could be fed into development of the area.
Surveys and workshops were held earlier this year, and now the organisers are looking for people to join working groups in two areas:
Environment, which could include the coastline and marine area and cover everything from litter-picking to waste water problems, biodiversity, climate change and sustainability.
And recreation, sport and space in the villages – this could include paths and trails, sport, the pier, parking and heritage.
A spokesperson said these projects reflected the priorities which emerged from the workshops and consultation.
“We would like to set up two working groups to initially explore, develop and take action around these priorities, with a view to creating more groups covering more areas in the future, and we need volunteers to get involved,” he added.
“You may, for example, be interested in being in a community climate action plan group, applying for funding to improve local paths, or creating a more formalised group to help look after the beach area.
“Nothing is too big or too small if it helps improve our community to the benefit of everyone!”
The Our Community project is being run by Cove and Kilcreggan Community Council and the Rosneath Peninsula West Community Development Trust, with funding from the Scottish Government’s Strengthening Communities Programme through CEIS.
Anyone interested in joining the working groups should email ourcommunity@coveandkilcreggan.org.uk .
