LUDDON Construction is making progress on a project to create a new civic space in Bishopbriggs, with support from SWECO and Pick Everard.
The aim is to create a focal point in the town centre that is capable of hosting events, enhancing the local environment, and supporting traders.
The project forms part of East Dunbartonshire Council’s Place and Growth Programme – supported by the Scottish and UK Governments through the Glasgow City Region (GCR) City Deal.
Once completed, the space will include: a place for community events, markets, performances and gatherings, with a permanent canopy to provide year-round outdoor use; natural stone paving and bespoke seating; extensive planting, new trees and sustainable drainage; natural play features for children; and improved pedestrian access that promotes active travel.
The civic space will be created on land between St Matthew’s Church and the access road to Morrisons.
Councillor Gordan Low, leader of the council, said, “I am pleased to see work progressing to create a new, purpose-built civic space in Bishopbriggs. The aim is to provide a location at the heart of the town centre that can bring the community together, enhance the local environment, and support shops and businesses.”
