CLYDESIDE Regeneration Limited has announced it has appointed a contractor to undertake marine works at Queens Quay, the £250million regeneration project on the site of the former John Brown’s shipyard in Clydebank.
Civil engineering company George Leslie has been appointed to carry out all marine works associated with the basin and river frontage. Included in this is the creation of a 40m-wide esplanade river frontage that will, for the first time since shipbuilding began in this area, give the public access to the river and in particular the basin that built the Three Queens ships.
The Queens Quay site is owned by Clydeside Regeneration Limited with West Dunbartonshire Council part funding the development. Dawn Urban Regeneration Ltd is the development partner and is working in partnership with the council to deliver the development.
John McNaught, of George Leslie, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the marine works package. We are looking forward to make a positive impact through the delivery of this project.””
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
