Public asked for opinions on how to improve the banks of the River Clyde
As part of the Clyde Mission, the Scottish Government want us to let them know what we think should be done along the edges of the famous river.
If you've ever had a bright idea for improving the immediate surrounding areas of the River Clyde, then don't hold back with your thoughts!
The Scottish Government are asking us to get in touch and contribute to their "Clyde Mission", which aims to improve and sustain the river's economic, social and environmental opportunities.
The Mission's fund granted more than £11m to projects last year that will strive to create jobs and improve communities all the way from Glasgow and the central belt, out towards the Clyde estuary at Dumbarton and Greenock.
But Holyrood and the Mission want our opinions on what can be built or improved along the river's edge and have given us until the end of the month to air them here.
Economy Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "It’s our goal to make the river an engine of sustainable and inclusive growth for Glasgow, the region and Scotland.
"We want to understand the priorities and ambitions of people and organisations connected to the river. Whether you live or work in the area, this is your opportunity to influence the Clyde Mission’s development and future plans.
"The river presents challenges as well as opportunities and we want to hear ideas on themes including jobs, skills and how best to bring land back into productive use through projects like the Cuningar Loop Woodland Park, which benefits communities and the environment."
£2.3 million has just been awarded to the Clyde Gateway from the Mission to support their extension of the riverside Woodland Park at Cuningar Loop near Dalmarnock.
The project will reclaim 8.5 hectares of vacant and derelict land that has been unused for 50 years and turn it into an extended park to try and provide quality, accessible green space along the river.
Ian Manson, Chief Executive of the Clyde Gateway, said: "We are delighted to welcome Clyde Mission's funding to unlock this next stage of investment.
"Cuningar Loop Woodland Park has been a focal point for Clyde Gateway, and as well as providing an immediate jobs boost in terms of construction, it will help address issues of health inequality, educational attainment and social capital which have been further impacted by COVID-19."
