Drumchapel Town Centre improvements as part of £15 million local masterplan

The design proposals from Glasgow City Council are based on previous consultation with local people as well as data collected from traffic surveys. The proposed changes include: Changing the road layout by removing the roundabout, improving road crossing points for pedestrians and reinstating a four-way junction; moving bus stops to make it easier for passengers to get to the new Drumchapel Town Hall and Aldi and improvements to pavements and the front of Drumchapel Shopping Centre

The work is part of the Drumchapel Town Centre Regeneration project, which is funded by UK Government and Glasgow City Council and aims to deliver Drumchapel Town Hall, improve Drumchapel Park, enable the development of new homes and improve the area around Drumchapel Shopping Centre.

Storyboards for the proposed changes and the wider Drumchapel Town Centre Regeneration project will be on display in Drumchapel Library from Monday 3 November until Monday 15 December 2025. Paper copies of the questionnaire will be available in the library to fill in.

The project team will also be available at Drumchapel Library between 3.30pm and 7pm on Wednesday 12 November. Survery responses will further shape the design for the project.

Plans include “improved pavements to the front of the shopping centre on Kinfauns Drive, with better accessibility, new disabled parking, new trees and inbuilt seating, with better pedestrian crossing.

Levelling Up funding for Drumchapel's redevelopment, totalling almost £15 million, was confirmed last year, ensuring key projects could proceed.

The Drumchapel project is set to improve “connectivity into and around the town to improve retail opportunities and boost the local economy”. It would include a new public plaza, better walking and cycling routes and green space.

Funding was initially announced in November 2023, with the council then committing a further £1.6m.
