Glasgow has set out refreshed plans to reduce levels of air pollution across the city.

The Glasgow Walking and Wheeling Festival - which celebrates walking and wheeling and promotes active travel - will take place with a main event at Glasgow Green on 11 May, with themes walks around the city over the following two weeks.

The revamp of Glasgow's George Square has taken a fresh step forward with the city council seeking specialists on the restoration of the square's 11 landmark statues.

An update on Glasgow's Local Housing Plan (LHP) 2023-28 Glasgow was given to a council committee today (23 April).

This figure shows the excellent performance of the strategy, which has an annual target of 200-250 empty homes (so classified after lying empty for more than six months) being brought back to use.

Anticipation is brewing as Glasgow's pubs, clubs and specialist entertainment venues get set for the city's Best Bar None (BBN) awards.

Sustained reductions in air pollution on two major west end roads means their status as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) can now be revoked.

Approval to negotiate the disposal of the council-owned vacant land at Hecla Square in Drumchapel to allow the building of a new daycare centre there, and grant a 25-year lease to a long-established local community group to develop a site in Royston into a safe and attractive outdoor space, has been given by Glasgow City Council today (11 April).
