Glasgow City Council today (16 January) approved the award of a contract to BAM Nuttall Ltd to deliver a new pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the M8 connecting Sighthill and Glasgow city centre.

Contributing to Glasgow's ambitious target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030, First Glasgow has announced that it's to roll out into service, two fully electric buses - becoming the city's first operator to introduce this type of vehicle onto a commercial bus route since the 1960s.

Glasgow's new Lord Provost is Councillor Philip Braat.

Bus operators have marked the start of year two of Glasgow's Low Emission Zone (LEZ), which will see a significant increase in the proportion of city centre bus journeys that must be made on low emission vehicles.

Langside Nursery, a standalone establishment located within Battlefield Primary school in the south side, will be re-named Carmichael Nursery.

The heart of Pollok Country Park is set to become a pedestrian friendly zone as part of a new £5.4m sustainable transport improvement plan for the park approved by the council's City Administration Committee.
