River Clyde at Glasgow City Centre set to be transformed by running parks and water taxis

The River Clyde is set to be transformed at Glasgow City Centre by the introduction of running parks and water taxis.

Meanwhile there are proposals for improvements to the M8 motorway and sports activity on the river.

As reported by STV news, the plans are likely to be approved by Glasgow City Council, with councillors said to have given 'strong support' for the move.

The running parks would be introduced at both sides of the Clyde, stretching from Glasgow Green to Kelvingrove, it is reported.

Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken commented: "The public consultation process has demonstrated clear support for the proposed Broomielaw District Regeneration Framework, and has been helpful in identifying areas where further consideration and engagement with stakeholders will be required before project plans are agreed.

"The written submissions, mainly from organisational stakeholders, were very useful in understanding respective priorities, areas of concern, and also areas of opportunity."
