Gartloch Gardens Update – Orbit Communications Public Consultation

23rd Apr 202623rd Apr 2026 GCG Community Council

Members of the Community Council met with Orbit Communications yesterday to discuss the Gartloch Gardens development. We made sure that all previous community feedback from earlier consultations was highlighted. We also checked that the Local Place Plan was used as part of the development process, and it was confirmed that this has been taken into account.

If you would like to give your own feedback to the developer, you can do this online at: https://gartlochgardens.com/
or by emailing: hello@gartlochgardens.com

We’ve been informed that Craigend Post Office closed unexpectedly on Friday 6 March 2026 due to operational reasons. This late notification is deeply troubling, especially given how vital this branch is for residents who rely on local postal services, banking access, and everyday essentials.

You can read the full notice here:
🔗 https://www.postofficeviews.co.uk/…/craigend-g33-5nz…/

The Post Office has said they are working to restore services, but no reopening date has been provided. In the meantime, they have directed customers to alternative branches in Millerston and Ruchazie.

As a community, we know how important this facility is — particularly for older residents, people with mobility challenges, and anyone who depends on having services close to home. Losing it, even temporarily, has a real impact.

Following our previous update in October 2025, we’re pleased to share the next stage of progress on the Craigend Civic Space.

Through the community survey, you told us that you’d like a semi-formal, social green space with life and colour.

We understood that inclusivity was important to you and that providing a place for everyone should be at the forefront of the design. We felt a strong sense from participants, that a sense of place and identity was missing, and that this could be created through murals, signage, colour and lighting.

These community priorities have been pulled together in a zoning plan which forms the basis of our developing proposals which we are looking forward to sharing with you over the coming weeks.
