Birsay ideas out for consultation

Community views are being sought on initial ideas to improve access issues at Birsay village and the Brough of Birsay car park.

Ideas have been developed aimed at tackling issues such as management of traffic and parking in the Brough of Birsay car park, including coaches, campervans and other visitors, coastal erosion and potential impacts on existing infrastructure.

The plans could also improve toilet facilities in the area.

Potential delivery of the improvements will be dependent on land ownership, funding, and statutory approvals.

The ideas are available to view at www.orkney.gov.uk/BirsayIdeas

Comments can be made via the online survey, emailed to ideas@orkney.gov.uk or posted to Birsay Ideas, Enterprise and Economic Growth, Orkney Islands Council, Council Offices, Kirkwall KW15 1NY.

Paper copies of consultation materials are available by contacting ideas@orkney.gov.uk.

The consultation will close on 24 April 2023.
