This dramatic change created a wide range of complex, inter-linked economic and social problems many of which were a direct legacy of the old industries, specifically poverty, health and life- expectancy. The accompanying physical decline was also a legacy from the old days - poor land conditions, widespread pollution and contamination as well as a chronic failure to re-invest in the general infrastructure.

Clyde Gateway’s task is to tackle all of these problems and deliver a comprehensive and sustainable physical, social and economic transformation across the communities. We will do this through an innovative and ambitious programme which will involve, over an extended period of time, huge amounts Increase Economic Activity of investment from the public and to target major employers into the area private sectors. and work with existing businesses to maximise growth which in turn will DID YOU KNOW THAT There are three strategic goals which generate employment opportunities for CLYDE GATEWAY, provide a more detailed framework for local people.

M74 & The Clyde Gateway The construction of the final six-mile stretch of the M74, the main motorway connecting Scotland with the rest of the United Kingdom, was finally given the green light in late 2007, some four decades after being originally proposed.

Investment in new or upgraded infrastructure by ourselves, our partners and the utility industries is essential if the long-term success of the regeneration efforts is to be delivered.

Glasgow City Council’s provision of a new four-lane road, previously known as the East End Regeneration Route but now re-named as ‘The Clyde Gateway’ is one of the most important elements of this new infrastructure.

“Clyde Gateway East is an important strategic acquisition for us where we hope to replicate and deliver the modern Hillington Park, a hugely successful Business Estate we own in the west of Glasgow. The infrastructure that Clyde Gateway has committed to this particular area of Glasgow is enormous and we have been happy to invest alongside that. Indeed we would like to be in a position to extend that investment.”

“Clyde Gateway East is an outstanding proposition for prospective tenants. It’s in a prime location just off the newly completed M74 four miles from Glasgow city centre and is also set to benefit from a new route, the Clyde Gateway, that will connect the M74 with the M8. This accessibility combined with the adaptability of the buildings on offer is already proving extremely attractive. There is a lot of interest in the two other units currently under construction and we hope to be able to make further announcements soon.”
