Creating Stranraer
A Place Plan
A place Plancaptures the hopes and dreams of local people for their town. Stranraer’s Place Plan has been been made by, for and with local people to set priorities for change. Our community-led Plan, with strong ideas, partnership working and the support of local people, should help unlock funding to invest in the town’s future.
Borderlands Funding
Stranraer was invited to present a Place Plan to Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal Fund by Dumfries & Galloway Council. Borderlands has just under £15 million to be shared among 5 towns: Gretna, Stranraer, Wigtown, Whithorn and Kirkconnel/Kellaholm. This was the catalyst for Place Planning.
Unlocking potential
The Place Plan and any Borderlands Funding we attract should help lever other funding too. We will use the Place Plan to unlock funding promised by Scottish Government when the ferries left.
Local Place Plans
Now that we have a Place Plan, we have submitted it to Dumfries & Galloway Council so it can be registered as a Local Development Plan and be taken into consideration when the Council is looking at development proposals for the next decade.
