Investment project code: 60

The former garage site at Pentland Avenue is an ideal spot for a multi purpose site encompasing a terrace with a small flower garden area with seating for quiet reflection at one side and a toddlers play area and parents seating at the other. This would be spread out in a crescent shape at the rear of the site where the banking creates a natural amphitheatre in a semi-circle.  The bulk of the site in front of this would be an orchid with paths through it to guide walkers going to and from the bus routes and cycleways on the main road and accessing the houses behind the site. 

The final design would be subject to consultation with residents and children from the three schools in the area and it is hoped they could be involved in planning planting and managing the orchard. The Bathgate Community Development Trust via its Community Garden Group will maintain the flower garden and assist the school children with the orchard. Procuce would be shared with the community.

The cost of such a proposal is difficult to estimate but could be contained within in the proposed capital budget
