The developers have lodged plans for the area including the old Bishopbriggs High School, Triangle Centre, St. Matthew's Church and Bishopbriggs Library (the old school).
If you're looking for it online here's a hint...
You won't find under 'Applications of Particular Interest' - wonder why?
The plans are TP/ED/06/1320 you cannot view them online as I write this.
Let's hope it's more successful that Churchill Way (now demolished) or Cross Court (empty units). With a number of outlets lying empty already in Bishopbriggs is their a great need for another shopping centre? We only have to look as far as Kirkintilloch to see what has happen to their centre!
The developers now have the entire Bishopbriggs High School site and land they decided was 'surplus' on both the Thomas Muir site, where the new school will have to share sports facilities with adjacent primaries.
Quote from Council 'Consulative Document' - The Thomas Muir site...
"They consider that this in turn will offer the Council improved educational facilities in the new school, particularly playing fields.
Having survived the bombings during the Second World War it took a single council meeting on 26th June to close the school.

Don't turn Bishopbriggs into a Park 'n' Ride.
We've lost enough already with the High School and Marks and Spencer. Don't let the opportunity to improve Bishopbriggs pass in a haze of fumes from cars from Kirkie and Cumbernauld driving through Woodhill( and the new Academy on Wester Cleddens Road) to park in Bishopbriggs Town Centre. And then drive home - leaving no economic benefit for the town and only worn out roads.
Put a 'Park and Ride' on Westerhill Road at the existing railway sidings.
Merry Xmas
