Better Barrhead Projects
Main Street Civic Square
A new civic square will be developed on the site of the existing Barrhead Sports Centre Car Park. The square will act as a focal point for all those using facilities like the Sports Centre, the Council Offices or the shops along Main Street and will also be capable of hosting civic and community events.
Commercial Enhancement Zones
Barrhead is fortunate to have two vibrant and well used commercial streets within the town centre., Main Street and Cross Arthurlie Street. Both of these streets will be covered by the new Commercial Enhancement Zones. These zones are basically a partnership between the regeneration team, local businesses and the community where we will agree on the best ways to improve the local environment and to support existing and new trade.
The end aim of the Enhancement Zones is to ensure that both Main Street and Cross Arthurlie Street benefit from an improved environment and retain their important role in the life of the town.
Carlibar Park
The reshaping of the green space within the town centre will provide potential for creating a new town park with integrated recreational and play facilities. Following the course of the River Levern and taking in Centenary Park, this new linear park will be designed in such a way as to properly integrate the new buildings with the greenspaces.
