'Residents could have been looking forward to the cycling rather than worrying about how to get to essential hospital and work appointments.'
A call for clarity over road closures in Glasgow during the Cycling World Championships has been issued by a councillor who claimed communication with residents has been “shambolic”.
She added: “Glasgow should be proud to host events but, with clear communication, residents could have been looking forward to the cycling rather than worrying about how to get to essential hospital and work appointments.” A spokesman for Glasgow Life, one of the host partners of the championships, said the Get Ready Glasgow campaign has been running since March.
The councillor believes removing bollards at Chesterfield Avenue/Weymouth Drive “would alleviate the whole situation”. “These have been removed for previous events but not this time and no reason has been given why not this time,” she said. The Glasgow Life spokesman added the Get Ready Glasgow campaign has included “attending community council meetings, drop-in sessions, letters to residents and providing information through getreadyglasgow.com and social media”.
