c) The Legal Quarter The alterations to John Finnie Street discussed above include changes to its junction with St Marnock Street which will have a positive effect on the overall environment of what has been described as the town’s Legal Quarter around the Sheriff Court and the Police Station. There is an opportunity to take a comprehensive approach to the treatment of this area and this could include the car park off St Marnock Street and Nelson Street. The aim of this would be to establish this car park as a genuine civic and social space while retaining its use for parking. These proposals might include additional proposed improvements along Sturrock Street - existing (above) and proposed (below) 40 | MAKE IT KILMARNOCK BOARD | EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL
KILMARNOCK - INTEGRATED URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN opportunities for small retail developments which would look into the space, benefitting from car park users and increased footfall. d) The Palace Theatre Square It was noted in the appraisal chapter that the dislocation of the Palace Theatre from the town centre and its partial submersion behind roads infrastructure with limited accessibility represented an opportunity for positive change. With changes to the one-way system it would become possible to create a genuine civic space between the Palace Theatre, the bus station and the Burns Mall, possibly opening up the Mall to look over the new space. This new square could also have a positive relationship with the Kilmarnock Water and the parkland heading north from the space. 2.3 Continue to breathe new life into old buildings | extend THI and CARS beyond 2013 The character and quality of Kilmarnock’s built heritage is one of the town’s most significant assets. Some vacant properties have been so for a number of years impacting on their neighbours and the general feel of the town centre. Every encouragement should be given to owners to grant short-term lets, possibly in association with the College start-up programme suggested above, with property above retail brought back into productive use as well as the more obvious ground floor premises. The Council should consider what further action it could take with recalcitrant landlords. circa 1920s view along Duke Street to the Palace Theatre NOVEMBER 2011 | KEVIN MURRAY ASSOCIATES | 41
