Last month retail expert Mary Portas was commissioned by the Government to put together an independent review into the future of our High Streets and Town centres. Here are some quotes:
“I want to put the heart back into the centre of our High Streets”
“They need to be spaces and places that people want to be in. High Streets of the future must be a hub of the community that local people are proud of and want to protect.”

Recently Donald MacDonald challenged Marty Portas on Facebook to come to Bishopbriggs and give some recommendations for our Town Centre. He was declined but instead the Community Champions have set up their own Town Team for Bishopbriggs, the first action being a Placecheck event last Saturday which will form the basis of a brief for a firm of Architects and Town Planners to put together some proposals for Bishopbriggs Town Centre.
