People power is needed to drive measures to help improve the availability of taxis, support local businesses and increase safety in East Dunbartonshire.
Following initial consultation with representatives of the trade, East Dunbartonshire Council has developed proposals for taxi stances (ranks) in the area.
Proposals include:
Bearsden
The creation of a 24-hour taxi stance for two vehicles in New Kirk Road. The proposals would be subject to appropriate Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) being put in place. Click on the image to expand.
Bishopbriggs
Work is being carried out in Bishopbriggs to identify a suitable location for a taxi stance as part of the Council's £34.88 million Place and Growth Programme – supported by the UK and Scottish Governments through the Glasgow City Region City Deal. Proposals will be developed and consulted upon separately.
Kirkintilloch
The creation of a 'night zone' – supporting the night-time economy – where taxis would be permitted to wait within Barleybank car park between 10pm and 3am. Click on the image to expand.

The creation of a two-vehicle stance on Fulton Road at the train station, together with a four-vehicle feeder rank (also on Fulton Road) which would operate 24 hours per day. This would also be subject to a TRO being put in place. In addition, a 'night zone' would be created in the Stewart Street car park, supporting the night-time economy, where taxis would be permitted to wait between 10pm and 3am.
