Lennoxtown Main Street
The Lennoxtown Main Street project aims to support the regeneration of the town centre by creating a welcoming space that appeals to both residents and visitors alike.
This will be achieved by rebalancing the street to prioritise the movement of pedestrians as well as supporting cyclists.
Various measures will reduce the speed of traffic on Main Street, by reducing carriageway widths at sections, widening pavements, creating safer crossing points including a new controlled crossing and a new active travel link to connect the town centre with the John Muir Way. Public realm enhancements with improved paving and planting will improve the quality of streetscape.
Plans have been informed by significant community consultation and aim to highlight the town’s heritage and natural assets within the designs.
The project will be delivered over two phases. Confirmation of funding from Transport Scotland for phase 1 on 30 May 2025 triggered the start of the procurement process to appoint external contractors.
The total funding award for Phase 1 works will come from a variety of sources. Including £1.02m from Transport Scotland’s Active Travel Infrastructure Fund, supplemented by contributions from the EDC Capital Programme, UK Shared Prosperity, Levelling Up and other funds.
The Phase 1 works will focus on the area of Lennoxtown Main Street from Crosshill Street to School Lane. They will deliver traffic calming measures, material upgrades and landscaping enhancements to improve the safety and aesthetic appeal of the street.
This phase will also include landscaping improvements to the gardens of the Campsie Memorial Hall, to complement the refurbishment of the building, along with resurfacing of the adjacent Lennox Square car park.
It is estimated that construction will get underway in late 2025 and conclude in Summer 2026.
The project is one of three regeneration projects currently underway in Lennoxtown:
- Lennoxtown Main Street project
- Lennoxtown Greenspace project
- Campsie Memorial Hall project.
