Shetland Islands Council has announced a final public event to allow people to express their views on proposed development for the village.

Earlier this year, 'Re-create Scalloway' community workshops and engagement sessions with a variety of age groups brought forward a number of aspirations. These included suggestions for transport improvements, potential housing sites, more or better community facilities, and potential business opportunities.


This weekend will see public drop-in sessions at the Scalloway Youth Centre, on Saturday from 3-6pm, and on again Sunday from 12-6pm, with "Soup and sweet" available from 12-2pm. There will be a public presentation at the Youth Centre on Sunday at 4.30pm on 'Findings so far and next steps'.

Councillor Mark Burgess said: "The Re-create Scalloway project has been a community led project from the outset and the whole community has been very involved in the discussions so far and we would hope to see that continue.We've had some great ideas from residents of all ages in the village. These have been pulled these together into proposals which could form part of a subsequent Vision and Action Plan for the village. We'd be really keen to hear thoughts from everyone on the proposals this weekend, at Scalloway Youth Centre."
