What happens next?

If you missed out on the survey don't worry, there will be opportunities to get involved as plans and projects develop. We will be publishing the initial findings of the survey on the Council web pages in the coming weeks and will developing a list of potential projects from the ideas provided which will also be published for your views.

The survey for Giffnock closes on Monday 14th November. So not long left. Why not take a look at some of latest ideas and, if you support them, click the agree button. This will help us identify the most popular ideas.

For example, some comments already made include:

• Improved town centre access and facilities for cyclists and pedestrians

• Redesign Eastwood Toll roundabout to make it more cycle and pedestrian friendly

• Develop a cycle lane on Ayr road

• Introduce a 2 hour parking limit in part of the station car park

• Improve Woodfarm playing fields

Do you agree or disagree with any of these? Why not have a fresh look and see

Our consultation closes on Monday 14th November, so time is running out to give us your views.

Please take a look at suggestions submitted by others and give them a thumbs up if you agree.

A big thanks to everyone who has already added their ideas to our map - you are helping us shape our future plans.

Thanks again for taking part.

Thank you for showing interest in this survey which will help inform a Local Action Plan for Giffnock.

Over the next 5 years, the UK and Scottish Governments are providing capital regeneration funding opportunities for town centres and neighbourhoods across Scotland and our Economic Development team want to ensure that communities in East Renfrewshire are able to make the most of these opportunities by delivering on transformational plans across the area.

The Local Action Plans will help identify and develop projects that could be delivered when funding opportunities arise.

The investments can cover a wide range of projects such as upgrading town centre public realm and green spaces, making better use of land and existing buildings, shop front improvement schemes, improved digital connectivity and developing active travel opportunities.

The detailed responses received will be discussed within the Council and with stakeholders, and a draft list of short, medium, and long-term projects will be produced for further public input prior to finalisation.

The online consultation for Giffnock will run from 3 October until the 14 November 2022. There'll also be public meetings during the day and in the evenings as follows:

You are welcome to attend any of these meetings
