Fort William 2040 (FW2040)

Wider consultation on FW2040

While the Town Centre Masterplan is a key component of the project, there is also a commitment to ongoing consultation on the range of individual projects that make up FW2040. This will allow for consideration of new information on the progress of projects and ensure the Delivery Programme is on track and contributing to achieving the wider FW2040 Vision. This will also help identify any new projects that are in a position to be added to the Masterplan.

FW2040 public consultation events were not held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, we were delighted that an event was once again able to be held in 2022. It took place on Wednesday, 2 November 2022, in Caol Community Centre.

Two surveys were available at the Public Consultation Event:

  • views on FW2040 overall
  • views on ideas for Town Centre improvements

The deadline for returning these has now passed. Feedback has been collated and a summary report produced. This feedback will help shape the future direction of FW2040. There will be further reporting on wider progress with FW2040 to the Lochaber Area Committee this year.

Download copies of the two keynote presentations from the 2022 event, together with the feedback report below.

The hope is that there can be a return to a programme of more regular consultation as well as project-specific engagement.
