Changes to streetscape at St Georges Road

This month, there has been significant progress on the construction of the new residential building at the corner of Grant Street and St Georges Road.

The two cranes involved in this construction work dominate the skyline of the area. Traffic management arrangements are controlling vehicle movements at Grant Street. The size and scale of this development brings changes to the architecture as well as local population increase for Woodlands.

Celebration of public toilets

Last week, I noticed that the public toilets in Kelvin Way, located next to the bandstand and amphitheatre, have been decorated. The colourful bunting is positive addition to the toilet building.

Thanks to all the staff who look after the toilets and ensure that the public have access to well maintained facilities when they are enjoying being outdoors around Kelvingrove Park.

Food growing supported at Cedar Street

From the high rise flats on Cedar Street, there are good views of a community garden and allotments. It is really positive that residents and tenants of Cedar Street have access to food growing spaces.

The new allotment site is being developed by local gardeners for food growing, this year. This site has been transformed at the end of housing refurbishments works and completion of the first phase of Woodside Making Places. This area is supported as part of Glasgow's Food Growing Strategy.

Accessibility improved at St Georges Cross

In the last week, I noticed that new tactile paving has been installed within the access routes of St Georges Cross Subway Station,

The investment in the walkways to improve accessibility at St Georges Cross Subway is very welcome. Thanks to everyone involved in efforts to enhance the footways used to access the Subway Stations in Glasgow.

Beautiful blossoms at Napiershall Park

There have been tree blossoms to enjoy when getting around, this month. Recently, I noticed some beautiful trees in bloom within the Napiershall Park, Woodside. These blossoms are a boost to our local parks and greenspaces.

Napiershall Park has some benches which enable residents to sit and chat with friends or relax in the outdoors. It is a very important outdoor space for the local community.

Promoting a litter free environment

This month, I noticed that the gardening work to enhance the area of plants on North Woodside Road has been completed. This is seeking to promote an improvement in the area's environment.

There is a need for ongoing maintenance of the plants and litter prevention in this street's environment.
