Glasgow transport task force progress

22 June 2018
 

The Glasgow Connectivity Commission, set up by the city council last year to advise on the city’s future transport priorities, has completed its first round of evidence gathering. The commission says points raised include the sharp fall in bus use; the limited space for pedestrians in the city centre; high volumes of car parking; and the lack of a “strategic transport network linking some of the key transport generators in the city, including Glasgow Airport and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital”. The commission is chaired by Professor David Begg, a former convenor of transport at the City of Edinburgh Council. Other members are: Stuart Patrick, chief executive at Glasgow Chamber of Commerce; Anne Ledgerwood, operations manager at St Enochs shopping centre; Iain Docherty, professor of public policy and governance at Glasgow University; Bill Reeve, head of rail at Transport Scotland; Damien Henderson, a board member at environmental transport group Transform Scotland; Ross Martin, an economic advisor at the Scottish Government; and Gareth Williams, head of policy at Scottish Council for Development and Industry. Recommendations will be presented in November.
