The hosting of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will also be significant, as new sports facilities, as well as the Athletes’ Village, will be built in the very heart of these communities.

But most importantly, all of this activity which will see billions of pounds being spent, will bring genuine once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to the people of Bridgeton, Dalmarnock, Parkhead, Rutherglen and Shawfield, with new jobs and new homes being the key priorities.

Much of this change is going to be delivered through the Clyde Gateway Urban Regeneration Company

Welcome to Clyde Gateway

Over the next few years, the historical communities of Bridgeton, Dalmarnock, Parkhead, Rutherglen and Shawfield are going to undergo massive change, with investment on a scale never seen before.

The construction of the five-mile extension of the M74 and another new road known as the East End Regeneration Route will change the physical look of the communities.
