Capital Programme 2008/09 - Clydebank

Whitecrook
John Knox Street Regeneration
The Environment Trust will work in partnership with WDC Housing Dept to regenerate the area surrounding the flats at John Knox St.

Bike Trail in Whitecrook Park
The Whitecrook Park group has worked hard in partnership with the Environment Trust to regenerate their local park. The community group received funding from Glasgow Airport to install additional equipment in the park following the success of the new play area. The Trust will work with the group in providing match funding and assisting in the management of this project.

Dalmuir
The Durban Avenue site was formerly used for parking and garage lockups. These were removed some time ago creating a degraded urban space of little aesthetic or practical value to the community which has a disproportionate impact on Durban Avenue as a whole.
This project the Trust, in partnership with WDC Housing, aims to address these issues and regenerate the square as a useful community space. A public meeting took place in Clydemuir Primary in September to discuss the proposal put forward by The Environment Trust and WDC with work commencing within this financial year. The local community were in agreement with the proposals so designs and specifications are now being prepared by Mike Hyatt Landscape Architects with work to commence in the new year.

Drumry Drumry - Environment Trust community event

Drumry Linear Park Drumry kids tree planting
The first phase in the creation of a new linear park in Drumry which included new paths on desire lines, access to the bus stop and new native woodland planting has been welcomed by the community. Following surveys taken at the community event in June 2008, phase II projects have been identified for 2008-2009.

The projects will entail creating a more diverse landscape by shaping earth mounds, planting shrub beds and trees and providing play/sports facilities. In partnership with the Woodland Trust Scotland, local schools will be invited to take part in planting the trees and in doing so, and create a legacy of improving their local environment.
