Access to the canal towpath at Speirs Wharf

During a walkabout, I took the stairway from Sawmillfield Street on to the canal towpath at Speirs Wharf. There is a metal wheeling ramp for bikes on this route.

From Speirs Wharf, there is a set of stairs and cycle route to use to/from Garscube Road and Cowacaddens Subway. There have been accessibility improvements with a handrail at this stairway.

This area of the towpath provides excellent views of the city centre and the west end. It is well used by local residents including dog walkers, jogglers, and cyclist as well as tourists.

Celebration of Napiershall Park

This year, the greenspace located between Napiershall Street, North Woodside Road and Mount Street is being named as Napiershall Park. This has been agreed after community engagement with local residents, community councillors and local councillors.

It is hoped that new signage for the park will be installed in the next few months. This improvement work aims to ensure that this greenspace is protected for future generations.

Street bin located at corner of Burnbank Gardens

Further to a request from a resident, a street bin has been located at the corner of Burnbank Gardens and Napiershall Street.

This bin aims to reduce the amount of street littering and improve the area for local residents as well as any visitors.
