Consultations to improve roads in North Glasgow and Bishopbriggs

East Dunbartonshire Council is asking residents, businesses and groups to help with improvements for the A803.

Consultation is taking place to help with future improvements along the route which is called the Corridor Improvements Project.

It's part of the Council's £34.88 million Place and Growth Programme which involves Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) to create active travel links and prioritise buses to better connect Glasgow.

In 2022, the Council looked at the main issues and opportunities for the route. Views are now being sought on the emerging options.

A drop-in event will take place on Thursday 21 March at Bishopbriggs War Memorial Hall, Balmuildy Road, G64 3BS between 1pm and 7pm so people can view options and ask questions.

Councillor Gordan Low, Leader of East Dunbartonshire Council, said, "We need your views to help guide potential improvements involving the A803, a busy route which connects North Glasgow to Bishopbriggs and beyond.

"All feedback received will be used to help inform final design work. Please get involved if you can. We want to hear the views of communities served by the corridor to ensure the project develops in line with their needs."

Meetings are also taking place with key stakeholders and local accessibility groups.

Alan Moir, Vice Chair of SPT, said, "This is a great opportunity for people to input their views to help create a better environment along a strategically important corridor, better connecting people to their communities, businesses, facilities and vital services."

Consultation is open until Sunday 21 April 2024.
