Vision Strategy 7 - Environment

 

Helensburgh residents value the distinctive nature of the town – its setting : its unique townscape : its position next to the River Clyde. It is also a green town encircled by the Green Belt. The central core of the town is one of architectural distinction and delight and is protected by Conservation Area status.

• Helensburgh is a green town, particularly when viewed from the River Clyde.
• The Green Belt is a key asset of the town and must be protected and enhanced.
• The inner edge of the Green Belt ( the edge of the built-up area) is its most vulnerable sector

"To turn the vision into reality is a very big job, but it is well worth doing. We need to stop the neglect of Helensburgh, turn it around and put it on the road to excellence."
