Introduction

Community Survey – A Positive Future for the Old Langholm Primary School

There is a new Community Plan for Langholm that was consulted on locally.  The vision for 2030 is for Langholm to be "an even better place for people to stay, work, and visit. By 2030 Langholm will be a celebrated hub for small business and quality textiles, and a renowned visitor destination for its natural environment, its rich heritage, and its quality produce".  The purpose of the Langholm Alliance is to regenerate the area as a thriving, sustainable community through implementing that Community Plan.

As a key tool to achieve the objectives in the plan, the Langholm Alliance has an interest in the asset transfer of the old primary school on Thomas Telford Road to the community.  Re-storing and re-purposing this building could be the catalyst to achieveing much of the aspiration in the Community Plan. 

This survey invites you as someone who lives, works or visits Langholm to share your views on the potential use of the school and the benefit to the community.

The Alliance commissioned John Gilbert Architects and Community Enterprise to undertake more detailed community and technical research.  This survey will help us get to a detailed plan for the building.  Please take the time to complete this important survey and make sure that your voice is heard.

Community Enterprise, will be helping us to develop the idea. If you would like any further information, please contact Douglas by emailing douglas@communityenterprise.co.uk or phone 07898 306374.

If you are interested in attending the on-line information and discussion event, it is on the 6th December at 7pm.  Register here https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAsce6ppz8sE9JKa6rGkjf6-hDcqNfKFses
