Sunshine on the River Kelvin

In the last few weeks, we have had some lovely sunny days and I made an effort to get outdoors. One of the best places for walking and cycling is along the banks of the River Kelvin.

I am always on the look out for the Heron and the various birdlife which can be found on the river. Thankfully, I spotted the Heron near to the Weir on my most recent walk.

The need for increased resources for the maintenance of the walkway and trees on the riverbank have been raised. Of particular concern has been the littering of the riverbank under the Great Western Road. Additional resources have been requested from Cleansing and Glasgow Community Safety Services to help reduce the litter, dog dirt and anti-social behaviour problems.

 During recent conversations with local businesses and residents, ideas to improve the Kelvinbridge area have been discussed. A programme of community events and outdoor markets using the greenspace and pathways next to the Kelvinbridge subway station have been suggested.
