Residents are being invited to find out more information about a waste water infrastructure investment project in Glasgow.

A ventilation stack is to be installed in Queen's Park as part of the £100 million Shieldhall Tunnel project, which will enable air to enter the tunnel and filtered air to leave it.

In September, Scottish Water submitted plans for associated above-ground infrastructure in Queen's Park related to the tunnel, including the ventilation stack.

However, following feedback with local residents, it is proposed the stack will now be installed around 100 metres further south in the park, which is a greater distance from residential properties.


Ahead of submitting a planning application for the new location for the ventilation stack, an information and consultation event is taking place at Queen's Park Bowling Club, 381 Langside Road from 2pm to 7pm on Monday, 04 December.

Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water's Corporate Affairs Manager, said: "Scottish Water is pleased to be progressing with the Shieldhall Tunnel project in Glasgow which will improve river water quality, tackle flooding and enable the city to develop.

"We welcome feedback from customers about our planned investment and we have listened and responded to issues raised in connection with the original planned location for the ventilation stack.

"Any customers who would like to find out more about the proposed improvement to our above-ground infrastructure, including the new planned location for the ventilation stack, are welcome to attend our information and consultation event at Queen's Park Bowling Club on Monday December 4."
