Ardenslate green space - Activate this green space for community use and benefit.

This large grassed area opposite Kirn Primary school and surrounded by housing, is also located in one of Dunoon’s areas of deprivation. 

The space is currently maintained through mowing the grass only. There is no planting, seating or infrastructure on this site, reducing the community benefit of this space to support community connection and improve biodiversity. 

Local Place Plan 

• Through community engagement with local residents and Kirn Primary School, co-design  a development plan for this space that supports people to utilise the area better to improve community connection and health and wellbeing.  

• Consider simple, cost effective solutions including fruit trees, that link people to food growing and increasing biodiversity at a local level. 

Community Action Plan 

• Argyll and Bute Council to work with community stakeholders to identify funding to support the co-creation of a Green and Blue space strategy and maintenance plan.  

• Argyll and Bute Council to work with community stakeholders to identify funding and utilise existing maintenance resources more effectively to support a spaces for wellbeing and biodiversity agenda more effectively at a local level.
