Thank you to all of you that took part in the early engagement public consultation held by the Council from December 2018 to February 2019.  The Council has received over 800 submissions which will be processed over the coming months.  

The responses will be written up into a Report of Consultation which will be published later in 2019, together with a Monitoring Statement which will set out the evidence base for LDP2.  The Council is also expected to publish a Main Issue Report by the end of 2019.  The Main Issues Report will contain options for development and policy content and will provide the next opportunity for our community to provide comments to the Council.

Local Transport Strategy Update

Thank you to all of you who responded to the Local Transport Strategy Options Report.  The council received over 200 responses.  The Draft Local Transport Strategy will be published for a final public consultation later in 2019.  The main topics of interest raised with us were improvements to the junction of Castlemains Road/Hunter Road, improved rail infrastructure to Milngavie, development of the Allander Rail Halt and concerns over air quality due to transport pollution.  There was also some interest in development of off-road cycle routes in Milngavie, including MERA’s proposal to link Douglas Academy and Mearns Park to the Craigdhu Wedge and the Allander Sports Centre.
