The new Marina is set to open in 4-6 weeks

Jo Swinson believes Kirkintilloch is set to be revitalised by the upcoming opening of the new Southbank Marina.

Jo took in the latest developments on the project during a site visit today with operations director Andrew Thomson and representatives from developers Balfour Beatty.

Commenting after the visit, she said:

"The opening of the new marina is just a few weeks away now. This is a very exciting development that promises to breathe new life into the canalside area of Kirkintilloch.

"The development includes a considerable amount of new office space, which will boost business and employment in the area, while the new 46-berth marina will cement Kirkintilloch's reputation as the canal capital of Scotland. This will be joined by shops and a new restaurant in due course, with the planned arts and culture centre forming the final part of the ambitious redevelopment project.

"This year's Kirkintilloch Canal Festival promises to be a memorable occasion, with events taking place around the new marina adding to those on Cowgate, in Peel Park and elsewhere. I look forward to the event building in popularity in years to come."

    If you are a resident of the East Dunbartonshire constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
