Clydebank and Erskine – recapturing the ‘Clyde-built’ spirit
Clydebank played a major part in the river’s past industrial successes and the town is now in a position to make a significant contribution to the waterfront’s rebirth.
The revitalisation of the waterfront will drive the town’s regeneration. Spearheaded by the award winning Clydebank Re-built partnership, the regeneration plans to reclaim the disused waterfront and reconnect the river to the town are already being fulfilled.
At the Queens Quay Learning and Enterprise District Clydebank College's brand new campus has opened and business pavilions are providing accommodations for a wide range of businesses. New commercial space and housing are being built, while leisure projects, such as the refurbishment of the Titan Crane are gradually transforming the area.
Across the Erskine Bridge, on the south side of the river, Erskine has the potential for long-term development as an important residential location and there is scope to create a new town centre in the future, incorporating existing buildings into a stronger network of streets and spaces.
