The South Lanarkshire Council gave the OK for a 20-acre project to be developed by Ashfield Land in the Rutherglen area of Glasgow. The plans include a food store, hotel, cinema, retail and restaurants. It is to be located on Junction 2 of the M74 extension and will be near the athletes’ village for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Andrew Fisher, managing director of Ashfield Land, said that “The redevelopment of the area will generate greater economic activity, employment opportunities and it will also transform the area’s character, image and appearance.”
“We are now entering the detailed planning phase for this site but we are hoping to commence work in 12-18 months, with a view to completion prior to the Commonwealth Games in 2014,” he continued.
The leader of the South Lanarkshire Council, Councillor Eddie McAvoy, is looking forward to the new development and believes it will help the area as a whole: “The combination and mix of uses proposed for this major revedelopment are ones which. I believe, will potentially secure a scheme that will also be of benefit to the wider area whilst acting as a catalyst for the future development of the Clyde Gateway.”
“It is also true to say that, in light of the advantages to be brought by both the M74 extension and the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the dynamics of the Clyde Gateway area are evolving such that this proposal meets a number of long-held goals
