Dramatic new design proposals for the area around the historic Speirs Wharf site in Glasgow have been unveiled as the latest stage in the long term regeneration of Glasgow’s Canal Corridor. The three masterplan design options, which have been produced by the Glasgow Canal Regeneration Partnership (GCRP), follow an extensive, and ongoing, community engagement exercise which has seen local residents, businesses and school children input to the plans. Speirs Locks is one of the highest profile and most visible locations in Glasgow and the Ł100M million proposals will make full use of this unique position to create a place with a distinct canalside identity where people will want to live, work and visit. With it’s elevated position above Glasgow the site has the potential to become a ‘Balcony for the City’ with a mix of residential, commercial, leisure and canal uses combining to make this a truly inclusive location with a unique and vibrant atmosphere.
