  • sharing ideas

LWPS Pupil Council would like to tell you about our charrette. 

A charrette is a French word meaning a ’race against the clock’ consultation where ideas are discussed. In the future over 1700 houses will be built in Lochgelly.  A very famous architect, Andres Duany, will be leading the team who help turn our suggestions into reality. Everyone in Lochgelly will get a chance to say what they think, but this week it was the turn of the children of Lochgelly to have their say. Children from St Patrick’s, Lochgelly South, Lumphinans and Lochgelly High came along to the West to take part in their own charrette.  They worked with a team from SUST (Sustainable Communities Team) The children generated creative ideas about how they would like their town to look in the future.  The ideas were amazing and ranged from an underground school to a futuristic litter detecting robot.  Children had to consider a range of topics including: waste, energy, water, indoor/outdoor leisure, jobs, transport, landscape, homes and schools.
