The first public engagement event will take place at Lenzie Station car park from 3pm – 7pm on Tuesday, 27 September.

Councillor Alan Moir said: "This is a very exciting project and another great example of how planning gain can be used to benefit local communities – with all funding being provided by housebuilders.

"We want to hear people's views on how to enhance the public realm of Lenzie and encourage sustainable travel – improving links between all modes of transport – whether they are using rail, bus, cycle or walking.

"The event on 27 September aims to inform the community, business owners and station users of the project – while asking for input and ideas from people of all ages and backgrounds.

"We want as much input from Lenzie residents and businesses as possible, with all contributions and ideas welcome."
