Work has started to create a new public space outside Old Basin house in North Glasgow.

The project is being carried out at Applecross Basin by Scottish Canals and its partners. The first phase of work will last for six weeks and is scheduled to finish in late-December.

It involves creating a new access road behind Scottish Canals’ office and lowering the boundary wall around the site to open the area up and providing new seating on Applecross Street.

In addition, the project will form the gateway into the Claypits local nature reserve.

Scottish Canals said: "During the works the Claypits can still be accessed from Ellesmere Street (opposite Stonyhurst Street)."
