Thank you for showing interest in this survey which will help inform a Local Action Plan for Eaglesham.

Over the next 5 years, the UK and Scottish Governments are providing capital regeneration funding opportunities for town centres and neighbourhoods across Scotland and our Economic Development team want to ensure that communities in East Renfrewshire are able to make the most of these opportunities by delivering on transformational plans across the area.

The Local Action Plans will help identify and develop projects that could be delivered when funding opportunities arise.

The investments can cover a wide range of projects such as upgrading town centre public realm and green spaces, making better use of land and existing buildings, shop front improvement schemes, improved digital connectivity and developing active travel opportunities.

The detailed responses received will be discussed within the Council and with stakeholders, and a draft list of short, medium, and long-term projects will be produced for further public input prior to finalisation.

The online consultation for Eaglesham will run from 3 October until the 14 November 2022. There'll also be public meetings during the day and in the evenings as follows:

You are welcome to attend any of these meetings
