Residents and road users are being invited to submit their views over design plans for the future of Byres Road in Glasgow's West End.

The road is being transformed through a multi-million pound public realm project - funded by the Glasgow City Region City Deal - that will see the street redesigned to include widened footways, improved surfaces, reduced street clutter, pavement seating and safe cycle routes.

Proposals have been developed after a number consultation events in recent years, with representation from local residents, businesses and community groups.

The consultation will run from 23 May until 27 June, and there will be drop-in events from 3 - 7pm on 24 May (Partick Library) and 31 May (Hillhead Library) where council officers will be on hand to answer any queries about the proposals. Participation is either online or through hard copies at both Hillhead Library and Partick Library, and there will be the opportunity to view the design proposals at both libraries

Council Leader Susan Aitken said: "Byres Road is a key location and destination for Glaswegians and our visitors, and is an important part of the city's economy day and night.

"Given its importance, we very much want to hear the thoughts of everyone with an interest in the area and so we would like to see as many people as possible taking part in this consultation. This is your chance to help shape how Byres Road will look and work in the future."
