Activity: |
It is vital to ensure a safer, cleaner river and waterfront if Glasgow is to continue with its successful development and regeneration of the River Clyde Corridor.
The Water Safety and Environmental Improvement Plan (which continues to develop under the direction of the Working Group) ensures these aims are carried through.
Major funding has been given to the scheme by the Scottish Executive and this has been augmented by further allocations from the City Council. |
