“The community has been working hard on these plans for many years now.'
A bid to make Glasgow’s Battlefield area feel safer for all those who use it has been boosted thanks to £2.5m of funding from the Scottish Government.
The local authority has teamed up with Sustrans for the street design project, which seeks to prioritise people over vehicles, create new crossing points and reduce the volume and speed of traffic.The leader of Glasgow City, Susan Aitken, said this would be a “huge step forward” to extend the city’s active travel network.
The project will work on previous plans collaborated on with residents and businesses using the Langside area including Battlefield Road, Grange Road – along the side of Queens Park – to Queens Drive and Victoria Road where it would link up with the South City Way.
