Update on Council proposal for QM Rd/Kelvinside Terr South
Updated 22 November 2024
Hillhead Area Partnership has agreed funding to support the reopening of Queen Margaret Road for a trial period. Item 10 of the Partnership minutes for 5 November 2024 notes the following was proposed following a site visit:
(a) re-opening the road for a 12-month trial period with reflective planters in place on the south side of Kelvinside Terrace South;
(b) carriageway resurfacing of Kelvinside Terrace West/Kelvinside Terrace South and kerbing repairs;
(c) that traffic counts would be taken before and after the installation of planters and injury accidents monitored, with the community consulted after the pilot period before any decision would be taken on the permanent re-opening of Queen Margaret Road/Kelvinside Terrace South; and
(d) that work would commence during December 2024, after Scottish Water had completed its outstanding work.
The Partnership approved funding of £32,250 for resurfacing work and £12,000 on planters, totalling £44,250, at Queen Margaret Road/Kelvinside Terrace South. Further details of the pilot project are available in the report produced for the Partnership.
The Scottish Water works referred to above, which were due to begin on 11 November 2024, have been postponed. Meantime, Glasgow City Council has confirmed that it will prioritise the installation of planters once procured, so that the road can be reopened.
