Possilpark, Maryhill and Springburn get special council strategy to boost areas

'There is a lack of adequate public transport'

A strategy to improve North Glasgow areas including Possilpark, Springburn and Maryhill aims to tackle a lack of public transport and boost town centres, among other problems.

The draft North Glasgow Strategic Development Framework has been created to guide planning decisions, wich would help improve the quality of life in the city’s northern communities. The document also puts forward a vision of how Possilpark, Springburn and Maryhill town centres and Royston Road could look.

Certain residential areas lie more than 400 metres walking distance from “a potentially multi-functional, publicly usable open space.” The strategy said "the SDF supports proposals to strengthen the north’s green corridors for nature and, where appropriate, active travel use, including River Kelvin and Canal corridors" among others.
