Dumbarton Town Centre and Waterfront
Dumbarton has many natural assets. Its position on the confluence of the Rivers Leven and Clyde gives easy access and impressive views to the firth of Clyde, and the town is close to one of the world’s most recognisable inland stretches of water, Loch Lomond. Dumbarton’s skyline is dominated by the impressive Rock and Castle.
Dumbarton’s town centre is a traditional high street with a mix of building styles and ages, and also contains the Artizan Centre, a 1970s shopping centre. There are many historic buildings within the town centre, and in recognition of this Conservation Area status is proposed. The modern St James Retail Park is situated on the edge of the town centre and further small unit retail development is planned near the waterfront, between the High Street and the Dumbarton Rock.
In 2018 West Dunbartonshire opened its new office in Church Street in Dumbarton town centre. Representing over £15m of investment in the heart of the town centre, the relocation of up to 1,200 staff to the town centre in this and two other town centre offices has already reaped benefits for high street businesses. The Council is committed to putting the town centre first and will be promoting a Town Centre Improvement Area, with practical and other help available to businesses wishing to invest in the

area. Priority action will be taken on dilapidated buildings that could be put to better use, and projects that improve the connections and feel of the town centre.
With the new waterfront pathway between the town centre and Rock and Castle planned for 2020, and significant new residential and retail developments overlooking the River Leven and Rock, the waterfront regeneration is now being realised, bringing not only new jobs and homes to the town and the economic growth that they represent, but also a vital connection to the Dumbarton Rock from the town centre.
