pod Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Is this a way for Glasgow to get one back on Renfrewshire council. https://www.scottishconstructionnow.com/article/100m-retail-development-on-banks-of-clyde-gains-approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Maybe. But I think it will impact just as much, if not more, on the shopping malls in the centre of Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow was never happy at losing boundary war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rates are raised are spent in Renfrewshire. If Glasgow had got their way, it would have made a bigger impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I think brae head will undoubtedly lose some footfall from those in West Glasgow clydebank etc. It may however be offset somewhat by the new road bridge being built across the Clyde at Renfrew.It's probably about time that part of Glasgow had investment in additional retail? Should tie in well with transport hub at Partick. As stated previously, likely to impact on city centre, esp with impending purge on private vehicles in city centre.

chalky1 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm not so sure, most people that side of the clyde might either go to the city centre or carry along to the Fort/Forge. Could potentially hit Clydebank shopping centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabuddies Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 It's not a covered mall so Braehead will keep you drier for about 300 days a year. Also they want to limit both the parking spaces and shorten the maximum parking time so you'll have to walk from Partick. Not exactly a winning combination methinks.
