Revised proposals for the station forecourt and the public space to the north of Lenzie rail station will be displayed online from the 7th of July 2017 and also showcased at a public event on Thursday 13th of July at Lenzie Old Parish Church Hall.

The design proposals have been altered in response to the information gathered from the public event on the 15th of March and from the month long consultation period on the project website. The new designs retain the priority given to encouraging active travel (walking and cycling) and improving the quality of the public space, but have been adapted to allay concerns about traffic movements being affected by proposed changes to the junction of Kirkintilloch Road and Garngaber Avenue.

The project website will be updated with full details of the proposals on the 7th of July. You can also see the designs on display at Lenzie Old Parish Church on Thursday 13th of July between 3pm and 7pm . Members of the project team will be on hand to discuss the proposals and refreshments will be available too. Everyone is welcome.

After the 13th of July, the design proposals will be handed over to East Dunbartonshire Council for conversion into technical drawings as a preface to construction taking place potentially in 2018. Engagement with business, special interest groups and local people will continue with update events being planned by East Dunbartonshire Council and Sustrans Scotland.
