How would you improve Townhead? What projects do you think would make a difference? What would you support and like to see happen?

An Action Plan and Framework for the regeneration of Townhead is currently being prepared by a consultant team appointed by Glasgow City Council. We want your input to help shape and influence the priority projects to improve Townhead.

Townhead, alongside Cowcaddens, the Learning Quarter and the Merchant City, is the focus of the current phase of (Y)our City Centre District Regeneration Frameworks. And now is the time to have your say.

Work To Date has included talking to the community and stakeholders and finding out you think the priorities and opportunities are. From over 5,000 comments we have pulled together emerging priority projects listed below. You can check out what’s been said so far and contribute your thoughts online at https://yourcitycentre2020.commonplace.is/ and http://www.yourplacemap.org/

All events are free and will be held on Zoom. Please see below Programme Events and attend any of the sessions that peak your interest.
