<p>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&#8217;s roads/paths the more likely it is that they get looked at. </p>



<p>One development just outside the park – the new <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/markjmcintyre.bsky.social/post/3mt2vo5vxxs27" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">protected lanes on Dumbreck Rd are nearly complete</a>.

<p>Detailed consultation about future development and land use. Topic reports include: economy, environment, housing and transport.

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&#8217;t show the City Ways. The rest are bus/rail routes and there&#8217;s also a <a href="https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/01410c5723de497bb040673fc73fe08c/page/CDP2%3A-Public-Transport-Accessibility-Mapping-Tool" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Public Transport Accessibility Map</a>. Some of these are large PDF documents and very detailed maps, which may take a while to load.</p>



<p>There are consultation drop-in events in September:</p>

<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s not clear if that order, or any other, has been made but not yet announced.</p>

<p>A total of £20m funding for deprived areas – recently the <a href="https://www.southlanarkshireview.scot/news/article/3021/help_shape_the_future_of_hamilton_town_centre">Hamilton Town Centre Board</a> 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. <em>“Local people will have opportunities to share their views and help shape plans for Hamilton town centre.”</em> No new consultation at the moment (following <a href="https://www.gobike.org/consultation-digest-local-issue-156-04-april-2024-21572" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Masterplan consultation in 2024</a>).</p>
