To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the reported Glasgow City Region City Deal funding for the Windmillcroft Quay restoration project, what steps are being taken to establish a continuous public promenade along the south bank of the River Clyde from Windmillcroft Quay to Pacific Quay, in order to address the area of restricted public access to the Clyde waterfront at Mavisbank Quay.
Regional partners have confirmed the initiation of the procurement process for planned work at Windmillcroft Quay, on the south bank of the Clyde at Tradeston. The £50 million allocated via the Glasgow City Region Deal will secure the integrity of the Clyde waterfront, consolidate the quay walls, and contribute to wider development of the river corridor that intends to create a high quality urban, public space that will attract investment and create inclusive economic growth and jobs. Regional partners lead on the procurement process and the detail of what this will include, and are aiming to award the contract by the end of 2023, with works beginning on site in 2024.
