Your Citizen Voice Phase 1 Results
Over 700 ideas were submitted in Phase 1 of the Neighbourhood Infrastructure Improvement Fund in Calton and Greater Pollok!
We're making decisions on how the Neighbourhood Infrastructure Improvement Fund is spent based on the opinions of as many local people as possible!
Over a three-week period between June and July, the Centre for Civic Innovation hosted workshops, attended events and created materials for the residents of Calton and Greater Pollok to have their say on the Neighbourhood Infrastructure Improvement Fund.
Glasgow’s Neighbourhood Infrastructure Improvement Fund has made £1 million pounds available for infrastructure improvements - The ideas, based around eight key themes – including improving open spaces, road safety, street lighting, street furniture, pavements, traffic signals, road conditions and drainage systems – will be agreed by the area partnership before being costed out by officers in the council’s Neighbourhood and Regeneration Services (NRS).
You submitted new ideas and shared what the priorities are for your area. These are being reviewed and costed before you can vote on the final ideas you'd like to see in your area.
