Stenhousemuir Town Centre

On 17 September 2002, the Policy and Resources Committee agreed to progress the Town Centres' Strategy for Stenhousemuir and approved Macdonalds Estates Plc as the Councils' preferred developer. Private and public meetings, the creation of a new drop-in facility, distribution of a regeneration newsletter to 7,500 households and the creation of a feedback questionnaire have been part of the overall development exercise in the town.

 

The regeneration plans for Stenhousemuir town centre have a major role to play in the success of the My Future’s in Falkirk| initiative, which aims to transform the Falkirk area’s economy into a thriving, diverse modern economy that attracts businesses and visitors into the area and provides jobs for local people.

 

The 6.48 hectare site includes:

• a 40,000 sq ft Asda foodstore with 360 parking spaces
• more than 34,000 sq ft of retail space in three single story blocks
• a new library with "wave" shaped roof overlooking Crownest Park
• landscaped civic spaces
• a new access road off the B905
• a new football pitch and changing rooms
• a new Tryst Community Centre with dedicated car parking facilities
• a new medical centre

Laser – Larbert and Stenhousemuir Environmental Reaction group – has been formed to tackle litter and graffiti in the town centre – Litter Campaign to be launched soon.

 

The first phase of the regenerated Stenhousemuir town centre, is expected to be complete by late 2008, with the final phase, the replacement of King Street block due to be completed during 2009.
