Suggestions based by location: Police Station

Here are the suggested ideas for Police Station:

Clean up and develop town centre

We need a town theme to attract visitors - why come here? People travel for hobbies & interests.

Reuse or repurpose empty buildings - the community should have more say when buildings are left to rot.

Renovate those looking tired.

A pleasant, safe shopping, area in the centre of town.

A pleasant, eating area in the centre of town.

A pleasant, walking area in the centre of town.

More bins and smoking bins at hot spots.


Make more of heritage

Keathbank Mill Museum was popular.

Items to include

  • families of yesteryear
  • mills & berry heritage
  • railway
  • Heritage walk/trail



More housing is needed

Ensure any housing is supported by infrastructure.

Focus on town housing in the centre rather than expanding town.

Need more affordable housing for young and old.

Ensure any new houses fit with the style of Blair and area

Affordable smaller housing

Disability and pensioner friendly housing.


Lack of Police presence

More bobbies on the beat and police station manned.
