Queens Cross

Complaints and complimentsWe’ll be making the following improvements in Queens Cross over the rest of 2025 and 2026.

Plan

Replace broken play equipment at Dunard Street play park  

Progress

Play equipment at Dunard Street play park has been repaired and upgraded thanks to funding from Glasgow City Council’s LEZ Community Grant Scheme.

This targeted investment has allowed us to bring several pieces of equipment back into safe and enjoyable use. At Dunard Street, we’ve replaced six swings, renewed the roundabout’s rotation mechanism, installed a new cargo net, and fitted a new bridge on the climbing frame.

We’ve also replaced a small toddler stool and one of the climbing wall sections. In addition, work is currently underway to replace the grass safety mat at the bottom of the slide. This work has involved specialist playground manufacturers and suppliers to source and install the parts.

A big thank you also goes to our handyperson team who assisted with this work and to Clark Contracts, who repainted the equipment to give the park a bright, fresh look just in time for the October school holidays.

Plan

Plant cherry blossom trees at Dunard Street playpark 

Progress so far

Three new trees will be planted in the park before the end of 2025, improving the look and boosting biodiversity in the area. The native trees are a mix of cherry, rowan and birch. Three trees will also be planted at Westercommon as part of the project

Plan

Identify areas to plant wildflowers

Progress so far

A few areas have been identified in the Queens Cross area to plant wildflowers. A plan is being formalised to organise the work to take place.

Plan

Improve bin facilities in the community  

Progress so far

We’re working in partnership with Glasgow City Council to install new bin hubs in specific locations in the area. This will be a trial period and we’ll be in touch with residents with more information once the locations have been confirmed.

We’re also exploring the option of installing gates to protect back court bin areas. 

If you have any questions about the project, get in touch with us on 0808 143 2002 or contactus@qcha.org.uk.
