Biggar Community Council (BCC) held a well-attended public consultation event on Saturday, 22nd June in the Gillespie Centre. Attendees were asked to give their views on Health and Social Care and local public and active transport provisions. There was also the opportunity for residents to raise any other issues with community councillors. More than 50 people attended the event, and they were joined by Aileen Campbell MSP, who arrived by bicycle, which was very appropriate for the active transport theme. We have yet to analyse the results, but a wide range of points were made which have given us a better understanding of how the community feels about these issues. We were delighted with the turn-out and would like to thank everyone who took the time to come along. There was a real buzz in the Gillespie Centre during the event as people discussed their ideas. We were particularly pleased that Aileen Campbell found time to attend to find out more about the views of her constituents. Those who were unable to attend, will still be able to give their views using an online version of the consultation which is available HERE. The Community Council will also be taking the consultation to local groups who have a specific interest in these topics. Once the consultation is complete, the findings will be published on the BCC website and will form part of the BCC's input to consultations run by South Lanarkshire Council and Scottish Government. It will also be sent to local councillors, MSPs and relevant public bodies.
