Linthouse Urban Village Project Phases
The aims of the LUV Project:
- Involve local people in the ownership of their community
- Develop a grass roots, cultural planning approach to regeneration
- Ensure the continued development of Linthouse as a community village
- Increase opportunities for local people to socialise
- Raise people’s aspirations and quality of life
- Increase job and training opportunities for local people
- Rebrand the image of Linthouse positively and creatively
- Encourage more visitors to, and interest in, the area
- Improve opportunities for people and local businesses through an artistic programme
- Impact positively on the area’s economy
This section of the website showcases the phases that make up the LUV Vision in more detail. Some projects have already been completed, while others are still in the development stages.
The emphasis on a grass roots approach to this project cannot be overemphasised: the involvement of local organizations and people in both the design of the project and as part of the decision making process has been crucial to its success.
