Muthill Community Hub Project
Through the Muthill Community Action Plans, a new community hub facility which is fit for the 21st century has been identified as a priority.
In December 2022, MVT were awarded £60,000 from Inspiring Scotland and PKC's Community Led Local Development Fund (CLLD) to take forward an Options Appraisal and Feasibility study. Further funding from CLLD secured at the start of 2024 means work on Stage Three of the project has begun which sees us work towards submission of a full planning application in October 2024.
Sept 2024 Update - Community Hub Event
It was great to welcome folk along to our recent community event and to give them a chance to see the current design pegged out in the the park. Thanks to the many community groups who came along to support our event. It was a really fun afternoon!
ABC are now collating the feedback they gathered from the community and this will further inform upon the design as we work towards submission of a full planning application in October.​​
STAGE THREE
We're excited to share some images of the current design of the hub. The architects have worked with the feedback from our consultation event last year, combining the most popular ideas from both designs. Work will continue on the design during Stage Three as we move towards submission of a full planning application. The Stage Two report is now complete and can be found in the resources section of the website.

Stage Two
Hub Design Development and Site Investigations
Following the successful conclusion of the feasibility study in April 2023, Coronation Park was selected by the community as the preferred site for a new community hub facility. Since then the architects, Anderson, Bell + Christie have consulted with the community on a design for the building and surrounding land. Extensive surveys and site investigations have also been carried out - with particular focus on drainage. This stage has now ended and the Stage Two report has been prepared by ABC. You can read it in full in the resources section of the website.
