ETIVE PARK, BISHOPBRIGGS
Woodhill and Etive Parks in Bishopbriggs are to benefit from a £950,000 for flood prevention measures, flower meadows and a bike track.
Areas of amenity grass will be reshaped to form a gently sloped detention basin areas to temporarily hold surface water – including from the Bishopbriggs Burn - during extreme storm events. Roadside swales will be created on Menteith Avenue and Etive Crescent to manage surface water run-off from sloped open space areas to significantly minimise the impact of flooding in the vicinity.
There will be additional flower meadows and a dedicated food-growing space incorporating raised beds and decorative pergolas.
Finally, materials from the excavated basins will stay on site and be used to create a bike track.
