Sailing on the Clyde
Location
Clyde-wide
Description
As the plans to regenerate the Clyde have grown and developed, there has been a notable increase in interest in new tourism ventures along the waterfront, as companies take advantage of emerging business opportunities.
New infrastructure improvements, including new pontoons, the river clean-up and CCTV along the waterfront, have also helped to enhance the attractiveness of the waterfront.
A study has now been carried out on the potential to grow sailing activity in the Clyde estuary. This identifies locations for facilities in Glasgow, Renfrew and Clydebank to encourage waterbourne visitors and, in the long term, potential for marina development.
Current status
Glasgow City Council preparing river access policy document with partners.
Lead partner
Clyde Waterfront
Other partners
