Upgrades to Kinlochleven Village Centre

The picture shows the pipeline in Kinlochleven.


You may start to see a difference the next time you visit us and venture down to Kinlochleven.
Kinlochleven Community Trust are extremely pleased to announce that funding application was recently approved on 22nd June 2009 which means that the centre of Kinlochleven will be transformed.
The start date of 17th August 2009 has been confirmed with the contractors and you will see a bit of activity early that week when the contractors put up the security/safety fencing on site. The work is expected to last 12/14 weeks.

Funding was sought to carry out landscaping works and regeneration of a large piece of derelict land within the centre of Kinlochleven. The overall aim is to provide a community space available to all which will create a welcoming space in the village centre which will promote the village and its facilities.

The area will provide a focal point for community activity and present a better impression for residents and visitors.

The KCT have been working hard to improve the village, many business and locals have also been supporting the Hanging Basket Scheme. Special thanks are due to all of the children in Kinlochleven Primary and Nursery for planting the hanging baskets and planters for the 2009 season. The children worked really hard and were really pleased with their results! www.kinlochleven.co.uk

Many local businesses have been saying how it has been a busy year so far for visitors and here at Loch Leven Holidays we have found the same. We have no chalets available until Sat.29th August, although we still have some rooms available in our Bed & Breakfast, and it is filling up fast for Sept. and Oct. If you usually come to stay with us at this time of year it might be worth giving us a ring to check availability, especially if you have a preferred chalet.
The same goes for the popular weeks next year, these seem to be getting booked up quickly also. www.glencoeselfcatering.co.uk
