A MOUNTAIN biking trail and skills area are being planned for the banks of Loch Lomond.

Proposals for a purpose-built facility in a designated section at the north end of Balloch Castle Country Park have gone out for public consultation – and will go on display at a drop-in event for members of the public next week.

The plans are a partnership between West Dunbartonshire Council and West Dunbartonshire Leisure.

The consultation exercise runs until Friday, November 18, while the drop-in event takes place on Tuesday, October 26 between 3pm and 7.30pm at Lomond Parish Church in Balloch. All are welcome to attend.
