Glasgow streets in Govan, Ibrox, Dennistoun and Carntyne to become 'liveable neighbourhoods'


Plans are moving forward to redesign streets to create liveable neighbourhoods in Greater Govan to Kingston and Dennistoun to Carntyne.

Supporting a new local town centre at Riddrie, improvements to Govan Road and better lighting over the M8 bridge at Cranhill are some of the proposals being taken forward to the next stage.

See below for a full list of projects going forward for concept design in each area.

Govan Road could see better links to Pacific Quay, access to Clyde crossings and trees and rain gardens as part of its makeover.

A council report said: “The liveable neighbourhood programme aims to transform streets, identified through meaningful consultation, into areas where people feel they are safe and attractive environments. It aims to support more journeys by walking, wheeling and cycling locally, as well as improving access to public transport interchanges, shorten journeys and reduce the need to travel by car."

Consultation has been taking place in the neighbourhoods where changes are proposed.

Councillors sitting on the environment, sustainability and carbon reduction city policy committee are due to be presented with reports on the liveable neighbourhood plans on Tuesday.

Liveable neighbourhoods form part of the council's strategy to help it achieve net zero carbon targets and reduce 30 per cent of car kilometres travelled by 2030 among other goals.

Greater Govan, Ibrox and Kingston liveable neighbourhood proposals progressing to concept design stage:

  • Govan Road Improvements
  • Drumoyne Spaces for People
  • Cessnock/Ibrox Village Strip
  • Lorne Street Improvements
  • A739 Boulevard

Dennistoun, Haghill, Riddrie, Carntyne and Cranhill liveable neighbourhood proposals progressing to concept design stage:

  • Riddrie Town Centre
  • Carntyne Square
