RESIDENTS are being invited to have their say on the regeneration of a canal area. 

Locals in Woodside, Firhill and Hamiltonhill have been asked to look at the ideas for North Glasgow generated by the community last year.

An exhibition showcasing the proposals, suggested by more than 300 local people, will take place tomorrow and Thursday at Firhill Stadium. 

Christopher Breslin, strategic planning and design manager at Scottish Canals, said: “Led by the Glasgow Canal Regeneration Partnership, North Glasgow’s canal corridor is in the midst of a transformation that’s already seen the creation of a flourishing cultural quarter featuring the likes of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland; the opening of Scotland’s first urban watersports centre at Pinkston Basin; and the installation of a heritage trail allowing visitors and locals alike to unlock the rich history of the area.

“This exhibition will showcase the next stage of that ongoing regeneration and the emerging masterplan for the area.

“I’d encourage anyone who lives, works, studies or runs a business in the area to come along to view the plans and have their say.”
