Lerwick's Waterfront, One of Scotland's Best Places
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the shortlisting of Lerwick's waterfront as one of Scotland's Best Places by the Royal Town Planning Institute; notes that the waterfront will compete against what it considers iconic vistas such as the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and Loch Lomond for the prize; understands that the shortlist of 10 places was chosen from 55 public nominations; believes that the establishment of the Mareel cinema, music and arts complex on the waterfront, which also houses the Shetland Islands Council headquarters, the Shetland Amenity Trust and the Shetland Museum and Archives, has contributed significantly to the waterfront’s vibrancy; understands that the public vote to choose the top three places is open until June 2014 and can be accessed online at rtpi.org.uk/scotlandsbestplaces, and hopes that the competition sparks interest, debate and enthusiasm about the country's natural and built environments.
