Collegelands Calton Barras

Overview

The Collegelands Calton Barras (CCB) project, with investment of £27m, aims to deliver an integrated, attractive and resilient neighbourhood within the inner east end of Glasgow.

The key elements of the project include enabling rail infrastructure; Calton Barras Action Plan and Collegelands and Bellgrove Abattoir (known as the Meatmarket) site remediation and access.
