Better Barrhead Projects
Commercial Enhancement Zones
Barrhead is fortunate to have two vibrant and well used commercial streets within the town centre., Main Street and Cross Arthurlie Street. Both of these streets will be covered by the new Commercial Enhancement Zones. These zones are basically a partnership between the regeneration team, local businesses and the community where we will agree on the best ways to improve the local environment and to support existing and new trade.
The end aim of the Enhancement Zones is to ensure that both Main Street and Cross Arthurlie Street benefit from an improved environment and retain their important role in the life of the town.
Carlibar Park
The reshaping of the green space within the town centre will provide potential for creating a new town park with integrated recreational and play facilities. Following the course of the River Levern and taking in Centenary Park, this new linear park will be designed in such a way as to properly integrate the new buildings with the greenspaces.

A successful drop-in day was held on 11th February for the local community and businesses to select their favourite street furniture from a range of options. Please read the outcome of the drop-in day below. In addition, the finalised street layout plan is also available.

The majority of the disruptive roadworks is now complete. With the exception of a final temporary road closure scheduled for the end of May, the contract work now being carried out on Cross Arthurlie Street will involve the upgrading of the pavements and construction of the new parking and bus bays.
