East Dunbartonshire’s City Deal Place and Growth Programme
East Dunbartonshire is set to benefit from a £46.77 million City Deal investment as part of East Dunbartonshire Council’s City Deal Place and Growth Programme.
The programme, which aims to boost the East Dunbartonshire economy, is intended to support the local economy and links to the wider City Region via the below Projects:
- Delivery of the Westerhill Development Road (WDR)
- Bishopbriggs Town Centre Regeneration
- Promotion of the Westerhill Regeneration
The A803 Corridor Improvements Project has been deferred from the City Deal Programme, although the Council are committed to developing the Project further through other potential funding streams, to be identified.
In September 2024 the Council approved the submission of the Place and Growth Programme Outline Business Case (OBC) to the Glasgow City Region (GCR) Cabinet. Subsequently the OBC was approved by GCR Cabinet in November 2024. The approval allowed allowed the Council to proceed with the next stages of design for both the WDR and Bishopbriggs town centre Civic Space plans.
The Executive Summary of the OBC can be found in the document downloads section of this page.
Full Business Cases were approved at a meeting of the Council on Thursday 18 December 2025 and then submitted to the GCR Cabinet for approval, to release the funding.
The programme includes £31.96 million from the UK and Scottish Governments through the Glasgow City Region City Deal.
