Action on trouble hotspot
Flashback: Bushes are cut back between Haugh Road and Glasgow Road to make the area safer back in 2010
MAJOR improvement works aimed at making a Kilsyth trouble hotspot safer are poised to get under way.
A new ramp and staircase will be built to connect Haugh Road with Glasgow Road, while vegetation will be cut back to make the area less secluded.
Once the new routes have been constructed, the isolated red brick staircase just beyond Duncansfield, which is used as a den by drug addicts and street drinkers, will be fenced off.
The project is the result of campaigning by concerned residents, which began in June 2010 when a teenage girl was grabbed by a stranger in Haugh Road on her way to Kilsyth Academy.
Campaign organiser Cheryl Anderson welcomed the news as “a step in the right direction”.
