A call for ideas, using a form in the council’s consultation website (registration required). There’s a Walking, wheeling and cycling section. Deadline has been extended.

Deadline: 30 September 2026.
Glasgow City
Pollok Country Park access survey
In-depth survey asking what attracts you to visit the park, how often, which entrance(s) you use and your method of transport. The more responses for cycling that highlight issues on the park’s roads/paths the more likely it is that they get looked at.
One development just outside the park – the new protected lanes on Dumbreck Rd are nearly complete. These will be a direct link between the South West City Way at St Andrews Drive and the bridge towards Bellahouston Park.

Deadline: 30 September 2026.
Proposed City Development Plan 2
Detailed consultation about future development and land use. Topic reports include: economy, environment, housing and transport. The latter has a Sustainable Transport Network map with a bit more detail on the new Connecting Glasgow routes. It seems to show some more proposed routes branching off the main circular route (but they change if you zoom in). The map also has NCN routes but doesn’t show the City Ways. The rest are bus/rail routes and there’s also a Public Transport Accessibility Map. Some of these are large PDF documents and very detailed maps, which may take a while to load.
There are consultation drop-in events in September:
- City Centre: City Chambers, 82 George Square, G2 1DU
Tuesday 1 September, 3–7pm - ‘River’: Riverside Museum, 100 Pointhouse Road, G3 8RS
Saturday 5 September, 11am–3pm - South: Couper Institute Library, 84-86 Clarkston Rd, G44 3DA
Wednesday 9 September, 3–7pm - North East: Easterhouse Library, 1000 Westerhouse Rd, G34 9JW
Thursday 17 September, 3–7pm - North West: Possilpark Library, 127 Allander Street, G22 5JJ
Wednesday 23 September, 3–7pm
Links: CDP2 Information Hub, CDP2 Map Gallery, CDP2 survey.
Deadline: 18 November 2026.
Parking TROs
Glasgow City Council have ‘made’ (brought into force) one proposed Traffic Regulation Order to amend existing parking proposals in North Kelvin and North Woodside. There’s no sign of the other new orders which hit the media with petitions and protests last year. However, work has started in Dennistoun, on some welcome corner build-outs, that had been included in TRO proposals. It’s not clear if that order, or any other, has been made but not yet announced.
South Lanarkshire
Pride in Place funding for Hamilton town centre
A total of £20m funding for deprived areas – recently the Hamilton Town Centre Board was set up to oversee the project. The boundary for Hamilton town centre has been drawn quite widely to include most of Bothwell Road (NCN74) and part of the neighbourhoods of Burnbank, Whitehill and Barncluith. “Local people will have opportunities to share their views and help shape plans for Hamilton town centre.” No new consultation at the moment (following Masterplan consultation in 2024).
