Community / Questionnaire launched for Lerwick Lanes masterplan
AN ONLINE questionnaire is now open for the public to comment on the first stages of the creation of a masterplan for the Lerwick Lanes area.
Edinburgh-based 7N Architects were recently appointed by Shetland Islands Council to create a masterplan for the area.
The area includes some vacant SIC housing which is earmarked for future redevelopment.
The online questionnaire hopes to gather comments on how the site is currently used and where people feel that there may be opportunities for it to best contribute to a “positive future for the town”.
Survey responses will contribute to possible future options for the site, to be discussed at a meeting planned for February, where the public will be able to comment and give views on the emerging plans.
Ahead of that meeting the masterplan team will appraise the site and consult directly with key stakeholders.
The online questionnaire is now open for responses until Sunday 14 January.
