Bo'ness nautical play park not sunk yet

UK walking and cycling charity Sustrans lodged an application with Falkirk Council on September 28 last year to create the play area on a site to the north west Of 2 Union Street, Bo'ness.

The proposal was withdrawn on Monday, January 10.

An earlier application to create the play park to the north of the town’s Union Street Car Park was also withdrawn on September 24 last year.

A spokesperson for Sustrans said: “We would like to reassure the community the play park is still going ahead. The planning application was withdrawn due to planning restrictions associated with a nearby pipeline.

"We have identified another location on the Bo’ness Foreshore and are in the process of submitting a new planning application.”

Plans stated the play area would have featured a sunken barge, stilt posts, wobbly bridge, balance beam, hop logs and a roundabout.
