This newly-released image shows how a transformed Custom House Quay would bring the banks of the River Clyde to life.

It is one of a number of projects across the city benefitting from the Glasgow City Region City Deal, a £1bn investment programme jointly funded by the UK and Scottish Governments.

Plans for a £25m revamp of the area – on the north bank of the river between Victoria Bridge and Glasgow Bridge – could see a mix of homes, bars, restaurants and a hotel.

In an update to councillors, a Glasgow City Council officer revealed a tender is due to go out soon to support the next phase of development.

The council’s Neighbourhoods, Housing and Public Realm City Policy Committee also heard how completed schemes, such as the Sauchiehall Street Avenues project, have received positive feedback.

Council leader Susan Aitken, who chairs the Glasgow City Region Cabinet, said: “Several of the City Deal projects in Glasgow are already making a real difference such as Sauchiehall Avenue, Glasgow’s Canal and some of the drainage schemes across the city. These schemes are helping us to grow our economy, improve the environment and prepare for the future. In the coming years, we will see a huge range of City Deal projects continuing this transformation.”

There are five “interconnected” infrastructure projects across the city totalling £385m: Canal and North Glasgow, City Centre Avenues, Collegelands Calton Barras, Metropolitan Glasgow Strategic Drainage Partnership and Waterfront and West End Innovation Quarter.

Following on from the Sauchiehall Street project, concept designs are being drawn up for other avenues at Holland Street/Pitt Street and Elmbank Street/Crescent. A scheme for ‘The Underline’, connecting Great Western Road with the city centre, is expected to be tendered in early 2020. “It will be one of the main pieces of work we do before we have COP26 happening at the SEC,” the officer said.

Under the Collegelands Calton Barras, site remediation has started at the former Meat Market while the council is negotiating with Network Rail on work at High Street Station. In the West End, concept designs are being developed for Byres Road and traffic regulation order consultation has started. Plans also include a Govan to Partick bridge, with designs revealed earlier this year.
