Southbank Infrastructure

Posted on 3 Mar 2008

Monday 18 February to Friday 22 February - I met this week with representatives of the Council’s Planning Service and the Council Transport Team to discuss the development of a masterplan for the Southbank area. There is general recognition that development has taken place in the Southbank area in the past on a fairly ad-hoc basis. Lots of local jobs have been created by these developments and the area will soon have a major attraction on the Forth & Clyde canal in the form of the Marina. However, there have been adverse effects on the road system and on the drainage infrastructure. A group has been set to examine how any further development at Southbank should be accommodated and to set out a series of objectives for future management of issues such as sustainable drainage systems, parking and access by foot, cycle and public transport.
