Pedestrian Pound  - projects focused on attracting families, young people, visitors and the ‘pedestrian pound’ to our shops and cultural venues

Dunoon’s Victorian high street, Argyll Street, is the main shopping street in Dunoon. It is located within Dunoon’s conservation area and is the place local people converge for seasonal celebrations, for shopping and it is the first place most visitors will wander along when arriving in the town.  

With almost 100% shop occupancy rates and an interesting mix of specialist food and drink, charity shops and creative businesses - and featuring the historic facade of Dunoon Primary School - Hillfoot Street is a great place to visit and browse. However, ad-hoc parking arrangements, dangerous crossing points, bins blocking pavements and uneven pavement surfaces are all factors that conspire to prevent people walking along the street to shop.
