Foundations for Recovery – Next Steps & Evaluation

The below documents provide an impact evaluation and recommended next steps, developing on the work which was conducted by Hall Aitken, ARPL, CEIS and other contractors as part of NCCBC’s Foundations for Recovery Programme.

Lion of Carrick Options

This work was conducted by Hall Aitken as part of NCCBC’s Foundations for Recovery Programme.

Summary

Robert the Bruce was also known as the “Lion of Carrick” and in part the concept is to link the sculpture to the proposed 750th anniversary celebrations of Bruce’s birth (or forthcoming 700th anniversary of his death). Our work has involved commissioning some artistic development work leading to 2D visuals and a full three-dimensional maquette of the proposed sculpture, at the same time as exploring options for location, size and construction.

EV Charge Points and Mobility Hubs Report

The below report was produced by Hall Aitken as part of NCCBC’s Foundations for Recovery Programme.

Summary

In tackling the wider foundations for recovery project, we have identified and developed a strategic approach, “Bruce’s Web” which depends on developing a network of linked attractions across the area. In turn this has highlighted the role of local transport in an effective tourism strategy – not only in ensuring tourists can visit the area, but also that they can move effectively around the area, as should local residents.
With this in mind this report also covers the potential for developing local “mobility hubs,” to help embed sustainable and active transport mechanisms including walking, cycling and public transport as well as private vehicle charging.

Active & Sustainable Travel Feasibility Study

The below report was produced by Hall Aitken as part of NCCBC’s Foundations for Recovery Programme.

Active & Sustainable Travel Feasibility Study as part of Foundations for Recovery

This report is part of a wider programme of work, the focus of which is to develop a linked set of project proposals that, in combination, could significantly enhance sustainable tourism in North Carrick over the next five years. This will mean bringing more tourists to the area, and/or extending the length and variety of stays in the area.

Public Toilets Report

This document contains an overview of the work conducted by ARPL in relation to provision of Public Conveniences as part of the Foundations for Recovery Programme. Public toilets are one of the key facilities which visitors expect to be provided in any town.
This is particularly the case in areas, such as North Carrick, which look to welcome tourists on a regular basis.
