A PUBLIC consultation on design proposals for the future of Byres Road will begin next week. It will run from May 23 until June 27 and there will be drop-in events from 3pm to 7pm on May 24 in Partick Library and May 31 in Hillhead Library.

The West End street will be transformed through a £9million public realm project – funded by the £1.13billion Glasgow City Region City Deal – that will redesign the area.

Susan Aitken, leader of Glasgow City Council, said: “Byres Road is a key location and destination for Glaswegians and our visitors, and is an important part of the city’s economy day and night. Given its importance, we very much want to hear the thoughts of everyone with an interest in the area.”

It is hoped construction work will start this year.
