A public consultation by the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority - regarding proposed camping byelaws that would see restrictions along the east side of the loch - is to end next week.

The authority said it has already received more than 250 responses to the proposals, but that the consultation ends on 3 May.

The National Park is looking at a number of measures aimed at improving the visitor experience in the area. Over £400,000 will be invested in east Loch Lomond by the National Park Authority, Forestry Commission Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage.

Plans include improving the car parking at Rowardennan and building a semi-formal camping area at Sallochy along with toilet provision and improvements to the car park.

By introducing the new byelaws, the authority hope to reduce anti-social behaviour including vandalism, damage to trees, littering, lighting fires and irresponsible camping.
