Public Consultation For Westerhill Development Road
East Dunbartonshire Council is holding a second public consultation event on the Westerhill Development Road project. This road is part of the Council's £34.88 million Place and Growth Programme and is aimed at cutting congestion and boosting business in Bishopbriggs.
The consultation event will be held on Monday, February 10th, 2025 from 4pm to 7pm at the War Memorial Hall in Bishopbriggs. Residents, community groups, and businesses are all welcome to attend and learn more about the proposed route and ask any questions they may have.
