Derelict Barrhead land set to be transformed into green space and reduce flood risk

A derelict waste-ground that has been empty for decades is set to be transformed into a green space to help reduce flooding risks.

The proposals for the derelict land in Barrhead include re-channelling the Levern Water. East Renfrewshire’s planning committee has been recommended to approve work on a former depot site on Walton Street, which has been empty for over 20 years.

It would involve a new river channel, replacement banking, landscaping to provide green space, seating and paths. There would also be work to modify the weir at Carlibar and a create a replacement footbridge to the rear of The Foundry.
