Use of old Bishopbriggs High site

Lots of prime land at the High School site - just no good for a school - if you believe the Lib Dems



Let's hope the Council can make a success of developing the land they acquired when they closed Bishopbriggs High School.

I have lived here all my life and the town centre has changed. Churchill Way was built and had several great shops - that didn't survive and is now retirement flats. Cross Court was built and housed the Post Office - now shuffled up to a sub post office in a card shop! Several units are still empty in the present town centre.

Here's a list of the shop that I can remember having opened, then closed in Bishopbriggs.

Several Supermarkets
Butchers
Bakers
Grocers
Off Sales
Newsagents
Fruit Shops
Chemists
Gift Shops
Carpet Shop
Book Shop
Party Shop
Video Shops
Barbers
Fish Shop
Clothes Shop
Banks
Post Office
Pet Shop
Hairdressers
TV Rental
Electronic, White Goods Shop
Hardware Shop
Furniture Shop
Doctors
Dentists
Haberdashery
Restaurants
Flower Shop
Record Shop

Now the Council have decided to move 1,200 pupils and support staff from the town centre area.

This alone will remove a large income source from several of the remaining businesses.

Anyone considering investing in 'another' new town centre should do their homework - find out why the above businesses opened and closed. Check out what's happening in Kirkintilloch.

What's left in Bishopbriggs?

Cafes, Restaurants, Charity Shops, Pubs, Betting shops, Travel Agents, Banks and one supermarket.

There should be a fantastic new school - but read this site to find out how the Liberal Democrats stopped that happening...
