Glasgow City Council and Wheatley Homes could agree a deal to swap land, which would also see 45 new social homes developed.
A sanctuary for water voles will be created in Easterhouse if a land swap between Glasgow’s council and a housing association goes ahead.
In exchange, the housing association would like to take on two council-owned sites in the area, including the former Bishoploch Primary School land, to provide new social housing.It would not be “a nil value swap of the sites”. Council officials have reported: “The acquisition site and disposal sites will each be assessed on their own merits.
“From an initial assessment of value, a financial contribution from Glasgow City Council is not anticipated.”However, large populations have been recorded in the east end of the city living in long grassland in parks, road verges, gardens and derelict land.A Seven Lochs and North East Glasgow water vole conservation action plan has been produced, which aims to direct conservation efforts and support regeneration projects.
