Location, Location, Location

Clyde Gateway is a very convenient and easy-to access location.

 

The historic Glasgow Cross, at one time the very centre of the city, is just one mile to the western edge of the Clyde Gateway boundary.

 

Glasgow with a population of just under 600,000 is the commercial capital of Scotland and the UK's largest retail centre after London. It is also one of Europe's top 20 financial centres, and home to many of Scotland's leading businesses.

 

Part of Rutherglen lies within the south-east corner of Clyde Gateway, a town which is in fact 500 years older than Glasgow. Rutherglen is Scotland's oldest Royal Burgh with a charter dating back to 1126 when it was an important fishing village on the banks of the river.

 

The town also was a centre of heavy industry, with coal mines and a chemicals factory providing many jobs to local residents. Nowadays it is home to 25,000 people, many of whom commute to and from Glasgow.

 

Clyde Gateway enjoys excellent public transport infrastructure. There are three railway stations at Bridgeton, Dalmarnock and Rutherglen, with up to six trains an hour in and out of Glasgow Central station. It is also well served by buses, including some services which operate 24 hours around the clock.

 

The M8 Motorway, the main route between Glasgow and Edinburgh, is situated just 2 miles north of Clyde Gateway.

 

And, as has been highlighted elsewhere, the extension of the M74 - Scotland's main road south to England - will go through Clyde Gateway.

 

The aim of Clyde Gateway is to build on these advantages of location, location, location and make the area a truly special place to live, work, and play.
