MORAY Council is inviting members of the public to discuss the draft Elgin City Centre Masterplan with the officers behind the ambitious vision.
The masterplan details a host of projects to support local businesses, attract investment, regenerate vacant and derelict buildings, encourage more people to live and work in the centre, showcase Elgin’s history, and to make it easier for walkers and cyclists to get around.
The area pinpointed for improvements centres on the High Street, Lossie Green and Cooper Park, extending south beyond the railway line to include vacant land at the old auction mart and Fleming sawmill.
Virtual one-to-one meetings can be booked for Tuesday, April 20, or Thursday, April 29, between 4-8pm. The Microsoft teams sessions can be booked as an individual or for a group of up to four people.
Themes range from vision and objectives; core retail area; cultural quarter; Cooper Park or other projects, and participants will be asked when registering to select their area of interest.
Head of economic growth and development Jim Grant said it was a chance for people to have their questions answered directly and to give feedback.
Mr Grant said: "The draft Elgin City Centre Masterplan exhibition is a fantastic way to see the vision for the town and we’re looking for feedback on this until June 14.
"The officers behind the plan are looking forward to meeting members of the community online to answer any questions, pick up any discussion points and hear the views of people in Moray.
"This is a great opportunity to find out more and just one of the ways to have your say on Moray’s future."
A link to join will be issued ahead of the meeting. Registration for the time slots will close one day before the event. To register visit the booking page here.
