A consultation seeking opinions on proposals to create a garden cap over the M8 in Charing X has been launched. Glasgow City Council is building a business case for investment in the area, with a focus on improving the environment for active and sustainable travel.

Craigholme School in St Andrews Drive will be transformed into 10 new homes made up of four houses and six duplex apartments. There were 12 objections over the development, with concerns voiced over design, privacy and the impact on the West Pollokshields Conservation Area among others.
