Street Design Workshop – 11th February 9am-12noon

Parsonspool Design Workshop
Parsonspool Design Workshop

East Lothian Council will be starting work on the pavements and lighting in in Parsonspool in March this year.

Whether they do more than this is up to all friends of Parsonspool, so come along on 11th February to point out what else needs to be done.

Contact judy@sustainingdunbar.org or phone 866920 to book your space on 11th February.

The Parsonspool workshop is being organised by Sustaining Dunbar on behalf of Parsonspool residents and delivered by Sustrans.  For inspiration and background follow the progress of a similar project in Kirkcaldy, Templehall Kirkcaldy Street Design and Fife Today

Starting out

In January 2012 Sustaining Dunbar was approached by East Lothian Council about sorely needed resurfacing work for footpaths and roads in Parsonspool. Sustaining Dunbar has an interest in improving facilities and routes for pedestrians and cyclists around the town as part of our aims to encourage these modes of sustainable travel.

Realising that such extensive road-works are something that is not undertaken very often, Sustaining Dunbar felt that the residents of Parsonspool should have a say in the design and set about organising a public meeting run by experts on street design from the national organisation Sustrans. This website is a record of progress.
