FIVE projects to regenerate rundown sites in Glasgow are set to benefit from £5.5 million, as a push to revamp vacant land which is a “blight on communities” continues.
That project would include the restoration of public realm and open space, while nearly £1.5m is expected to be awarded to Maryhill Housing Association for the creation of green space, paths and community growing space. A further £2m has been confirmed by the Scottish Government from its vacant and derelict land fund for 2023/24, which has the “potential to contribute towards at least 12 hectares of vacant and derelict land being investigated and/or treated”.
Other groups expected to receive money are at the Seven Lochs Wetland Park, Barmulloch Community Development Company and the council’s neighbourhoods team for work at the Greyfriars Garden. Councillor Kenny McLean, SNP, the council’s convener for development and land use, said: “The continued reduction in vacant and derelict land in Glasgow is good news for a number of reasons.
