The paths are part of a multi-million-pounds investment project
The next phase of Scottish Water's multi-million-pounds investment project at Milngavie Reservoirs will get underway on Monday, August 14.
Environmental benefits will be achieved through the use of a responsibly sourced, recycled footpath product called Ultitrec to improve the main walking routes around Mugdock and Craigmaddie reservoirs.Mark Maclaren, Scottish Water’s communication lead for Milngavie Reservoirs, said:"We are always looking for new ways of transforming our activities, with the environment, customers and communities, and service excellence at the heart of everything we do.
"Using Ultitrec to upgrade the footpaths allows us to achieve each of these things and we are excited to get the improvement work started."To help minimise disruption the improvement work will be carried out in phases and on a rolling-basis around the reservoirs, beginning on a section known as Lovers' Lane at Mugdock Reservoir.
The stretch of new pathway at Lovers’ Lane is anticipated for completion around October time with works then expected to move to the far end of Mugdock Reservoir, before progressing to the section of pathways nearer to Commissioner’s Cottage around December time. Mark added:"It’s important to stress that the reservoirs will be very much ‘open for business’ during these works, however, we will need to close off the sections of paths we’re working on both for"We took the decision to start the works at the end of the school summer holidays to avoid this busy period and to allow people to make the most of the reservoirs during the main summer months.
