We Like Milngavie meeting on 23rd November

We Like Milngavie are inviting community groups to a presentation by Page\Park Architects of their “Urban Design Framework” for future development of Milngavie Town Centre.

This will be held on Wednesday 23rd November, 7.30pm at the Fraser Centre.

Page\Park have carried out a public realm study of the town centre, including the Tesco site. They have come up with a very exciting vision which unifies and connects the two sides of the town centre, presently divided by Woodburn Way.

We Like Milngavie plan to present Page\Park’s “Vision for the Community” to the Council in the near future, and hope it will influence their response to Tesco’s forthcoming application.

It is important that this initiative is owned by all the community groups of the area, so we would encourage you and others from your group to come along and see the Page\Park ideas.
