Hear from Laurence Rockey, Director for the Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland, at the celebration of ten years of the Glasgow City Region City Deal - held at the City Deal funded Renfrew Bridge.
One of the largest and the most advanced in the UK, Glasgow’s Deal has delivered a range of high-profile projects such as Greenock Ocean Terminal, the bridge over the M8 at Sighthill and the Govan to Partick bridge – with the new Renfrew bridge set to open later this year.
Since 2014, the Region’s City Deal is estimated to have attracted over £880 million worth of follow-on investment for new housing and commercial development already completed or underway at locations around City Deal projects. For example, City Deal funded remediation and work to improve connectivity at Tradeston in Glasgow has opened up an area south of the river to commercial development, with the new Barclays Campus the biggest inward investment ever in Scotland.
