A new bridge is being delivered in Winchburgh to connect the canal-side marina with a planned new leisure space.
Works around the bridge will be completed in Autumn, allowing quick access from the canal towpath to the marina and town centre.
On the opposite side of the Marina, plans remain in place for waterside leisure development. Just beyond, and bordering the arterial route Duntarvie Castle Road, a housing development proposed by Lovell would include 39 affordable housing units.
John Hamilton, CEO of Winchburgh Developments Ltd (WDL), which leads the masterplan for Winchburgh, said, “Welcoming people into the heart of Winchburgh, while also encouraging residents of our community to easily access greenspace along the Union Canal, just became much easier with the installation of this new bridge. Improving access will benefit the town centre in the long-term and adds to our excellent links for those walking and wheeling in the community.”
The growth of Winchburgh continues at pace – with 1,700 occupied new properties amid plans for a total of 4,000 in the next decade.
John added, “Experience tells us that creating a community – especially on this scale – is not just about constructing a healthy mix of residential and business premises but ensuring that alongside the housing and shops are excellent leisure facilities, the best-equipped schools, and an environment that encourages people to strike a positive work-life balance and lead a healthy lifestyle.”
