News on East Renfrewshire Spaces for People

Spaces for People findings published

In 2020, East Renfrewshire Council (ERC) began consultation on our Spaces for People projects - temporary pilot measures intended to enhance road safety, encourage use of sustainable modes of transport, and make it easier to maintain social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have now concluded our analysis of comments and findings arising from these measures. Reports summarising the consultation feedback, and the outcomes of monitoring and evaluation, are available for viewing near the bottom of the following pages:

Academy Road

Davieland Road

A77 - Fenwick Road

A77 - Ayr Road Phase 2

A77 - Early removal of light segregation

We thank everyone who took part for your contributions.

Next steps

We have recently submitted applications to the Sustrans Places for Everyone programme which, if successful, will support development of a business case and initial concept designs for:

a permanent sustainable transport corridor along the A77 Ayr Road and Fenwick Road

a permanent sustainable transport corridor along the B767 (Clarkston to Muirend)

permanent improvements for active travel, road safety, and the public realm on Davieland Road

completion of the Wytchwood 'missing link' between Patterton and Eastwood High School

We encourage everyone with an interest in the future of the A77 to subscribe to updates from the dedicated A77 Active Corridor website. We will post news updates and further consultation opportunities there as the project progresses. ERC will publicise opportunities to comment on our proposals for the other projects in due course.
