The story so far ..

  • In the beginning

    The Glasgow and Clyde Valley (GCV) Green Network initiative was launched by John Swinney MSP back in June 2007.

    Back then Mr. Swinney said "The Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network partnership will improve access to green and open space for local communities."

    "Making Scotland's spaces greener and more accessible is fundamental to increasing sustainable economic growth."

    Since then the programme has gone from strength to strength and development of the Green Network now spans the whole of Central Scotland with the GCV region forming a vital component part of the Central Scotland Green Network.

    LEARN ABOUT THE CSGN

  • In 2008, the GCV Green Network Partnership launched the Seeing the Bigger Picture Campaign which set out our Vision for the future.

    Our film highlighted the issues the Green Network would address and the multiple benefits it would bring to both people and wildlife.

    LEARN ABOUT THE SCALE OF THE TASK

  • The planning system is crucial to ensuring the green network and green infrastructure is built in and retrofitted into development.

    Our work with planners at both strategic and local level has led to practical changes for positive green infrastructure implementation.

  • today's blueprint

    The Partnership has been at the forefront of Green Network Thinking for more than 10 years. From early development of the concept to integrating it into the planning system and promoting it across disciplines.

    Our blueprint is a key piece of strategic work which will help local authorities identify opportunities and make crucial connections around and between important locations. This blueprint is the cornerstone of the practical implementation of the Green Network and will provide the backbone for more localised green network connections.

Ten Year Review

Ten Year Review

The establishment of the Glasgow & Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership ten years ago was in recognition of the simple fact that improving the environmental quality, economic competiveness, and health and wellbeing of the Glasgow & Clyde Valley region required the creation of a Green Network. This Green Network would link urban and rural areas and be transformational in terms of its vision, scale and commitment to action. Since then, the Partnership has worked tirelessly to achieve that goal.
