Walk to school...

I have indicated on this picture the walks children could use to get from the north of Bishopbriggs to the Thomas Muir High School Site. Due to the railway, only two bridge crossings are available. The shorter along past Collins onto a fast road with no pavement for a large way and no street lighting.

This is WALK ONE, the one children will be advised not to use (the council don't recognise it!).

The longer WALK TWO travels along the busy main road, crossing just past Wester Cleddens Primary, this is the preffered route.

With this in mind, and a full 23 days before the council meeting to decide where the new school would be built, work started to upgrade this road - yet another coincidence?

Update: The upgrade does NOT address the lack of street lighting and pavement issues between the railway bridge and Wester Cleddens Road. A council spokesperson said:

"...Westerhill Road is not recognised by the council as a safe walking route..."
