Support for Spaces for People

Today, the public consultation in to the future of the Spaces for People project is closing. I am supporting the continuation of a traffic-free Kelvin Way.


Kelvin Way prioritised for walking and cycling


Also, within Byres Road, there are spaces for people created to support local businesses.

At Tesco

At Old Salty's

At Little Italy

Hopefully, these spaces can be made permanent until the public realm works by the City Deal.

Refurbishment for tenement flats at Melrose Street

 A Compulsory Purchase Order has been carried out by the Council for tenement flats at 4-6 Melrose Street, in Woodlands.


The flats will be transferred to Charing Cross Housing Association to complete building repairs and create eight or nine flats for social housing for rent.

Clean up of St. Georges Cross Underpass

This week, the underpass at St. Georges Cross has been cleaned up with graffiti removal and flytipped items uplifted.

This area had become a public health hazard due to the graffiti and untidy appearance. Thanks to the council staff from cleansing and graffiti removal.
