Cambuslang Park and Ride car park

Cambuslang commuters are being urged to take advantage of the park and ride facility on their doorstep.

The updated development has 256 parking spaces, including new electric vehicle charging points, on a site adjacent to Bridge Street which is within easy reach of the station.

New traffic signals will be completed this week which will allow improved pedestrian and cycle connections across Somervell Street and Main Street as well as improving overall access to the park and ride facilities.

The main park and ride project was jointly funded by the council and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.

The council’s Head of Roads and Transportation, Colin Park, said: “As more and more Covid restrictions are easing across the country, we want as many people as possible to take advantage of this facility.

“We are committed to supporting sustainable transport and this site makes it is easier than ever to switch from car to train in Cambuslang and the additional charging infrastructure will help with the drive to make electric vehicles a viable option for more road users.

“This was a derelict site which is now an asset to the area, improving parking in the centre of Cambuslang, supporting sustainable travel and adding to environmental improvements in Cambuslang.”
