Final designs have been confirmed which include a water feature, raised lawn, sheltered seating and feature lighting.
Work to revamp Glasgow's George Square is set to begin in January next year, as the final design has been confirmed.
The designs include a water feature, a raised lawn, sheltered seating and feature lighting. There will also be informal play areas for children.The council said the designs for the eastern part of the square reflect “its institutional character and the formality of the city chambers and the Cenotaph”.Work on surrounding streets is due to be finished by April 2027, with statues returned to new locations on the square a few months later.
These include John Street, St Vincent Street and Place, West George Street, George Street, Hanover and Miller Street, North Hanover Street, Dundas Street and Dundas Lane and Cochrane Street. In recent years, the square's condition has deteriorated notably, with obvious cracks in the surface. Temporary surfaces put in place during the pandemic to close off one side to vehicles are starting to look tacky.
