A waste water improvement project is underway in East Dunbartonshire.

The £340,000 project involves carrying out 'major' improvements to the water network in Bearsden.

Works include installing a new Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) adjacent to Maryhill Road.

This will reduce the number of spills from an existing CSO into the River Kelvin during prolonged heavy rainfall.

The work is being carried out by contractors Geroge Leslie on behalf of Scottish Water and is expected to take around three months to complete.

Joanna Peebles, Scottish Water's Regional Communities Team Manager, said: "We are very pleased to have started this important project, which will significantly improve the environment on the River Kelvin."

Road closures and traffic management will be in place.
